What do you think of this kilt pin?

[AKScott]

Are you going to use a sporran of some kind?

I recognize the customs are a bit different from the lasses, but I have joined OCRichard in doing without kilt pins.

Kilt pins inevitably catch on "something", and then your (my) skirt gets at least a pulled thread, or possibly ripped, or even ruined.

Kilt pins are not strictly necessary if there is a sporran in use anyway.

I have nothing against the folks who use a sporran and wear a kilt pin. It is your kilt, have at it.

I understand wanting to use a kilt pin with no sporran, it helps, ahem, to maintain the mystery.

Pesonally I use a sporran. I have one pulled thread in one PV kilt. Neither of my wool kilts have ever been subjected to a pin. A kilt pin is of no functional help to me, and could lead to my kilt getting damaged again.

What you have pictured is an otherwise inoffensive option if you like it. It is perfectly OK to use any pin you like, though I would suggest about 30 grams or 1 ounce is about the upper limit for weight with 16 ounce cloth.

Cheers!

No, I wouldnt be using a sporran. I think they are a little too masculine for me.

Perhaps I will go without the pin too and just save my money for buying a brooch for when I order a sash.
