What do you think of this kilt pin?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I think the "oversized safety pin" style looks great on women's skirts, as well as men's kilts. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the pin you posted, it looks fine. But if you were looking for something a bit softer and less militant than a sword, I might recommend one of these.

A lot of sewing supply stores have them in both brass and silver tones, and they are usually only a few dollars!

If you want a really nice one, I found someone on Etsy selling them in sterling.

Matt:
I have always been frightened that those pins would leave a very nice hole in my kilt and the primary reason I have avoided trying one, though I like the look.
Is my concern accurate or is does one usually use these pins one time and just leave it on the kilt?

It's a lovely pin but not uncommon, not that that is a bad thing. As Downunder says, have a shufftie at the Show us your kilt pins thread for some interesting variations on a theme. I think you can get away with just about anything as a kilt pin, so long as you like it.
