    Safety pin style kilt pins

    I needs me a few and can't seem to find any vendors who sell them! I like the fancy ones with the decorative heads on top of the pins.

    Jo Ann's Fabrics has a large safety pin, in a fake gold and silver color that is called a "Kilt Pin"

    Most any large fabric store in close proximity to a private school that requires plaid skirts is going to stock them. Of course the recent events in the world, everyone might be in short supply.......

    A quick google image search for kilt pins will give you lots of styles for the old horse blanket pin you are looking for.

    Go to Amazon and do a search for "blanket pin" and you should find all manner of such pins in a variety of sizes and colors. Not too expensive if you are not going fancy.

    I got two from an antique store in the town I grew up in, so I am fortunate they have a connection, but I would have bought them anyway. Large and solid.
