Homemade Heavy Kilt Pin ready for a Gale

[ronin6290]

I do own 4 kilt pins and have worn 2 at times together. I always wear one as I'm often outside and in the hills here it can be quite windy. Two have traditional pin closures which I have kind of shied away from as they did do a bit of damage by catching on objects then pulling at the fabric. I own one other heavier pin which is a heavy coin. I've been wearing it for some months now and have not had any damage. I use tiny thin magnets, about the size of a dime. They are strong enough to hold well but I've never had my apron stick to any other metal like I've heard others say. If it catches on something it simply releases, thus no damage to the kilt. I do like kilt pins because there is room for creativity and self expression aside from being a very functional piece as-well. I really like my stag horn pin also but it does tend to be rough on my kilts so I wear it only on occasion now. This particular one is a tad bit heavier than my coin which was my intention. We shall see how it works. I designed it for casual wear while walking trail here etc,.
