Straight "bodkin" type pins are what you want for that period. You can see some examples, including some pics of actual ones from that era, in this thread at SFI.
So during this time period, it wasn't common to have the plaid pulled up to the shoulder in the front? Just the back? I'm guessing this is correct, based on pictures posted in this thread, and others I've seen.

Wow, seriously!? Makes me wonder how many of those highland jerkins he's ever sold. Or why he even bothers to offer one in the first place! Thanks for the tip, I'll most definitely not be doing business with him.
