I have two kilts and each kilt has a pin and once in place to my satisfaction they do not move. In 70 something years I have worn the kilt shooting, fishing, around the farm, extensive walking in the Scottish country side and never once has the kilt pin caused a problem. I have ripped kilts on barbed wire, brambles and a Land Rover door latch, but not one of those accidents can be blamed on the kilt pin. On thinking about it I don't recall anyone that I know having a problem either with the kilt pin, so its a matter of luck and personal choice, I suppose.

The land rover door catch is renown I've ruined a few pairs of trouser on it . if its your own landrover may i recomend http://foundry4x4.co.uk/index.php?ro...&product_id=68
As for the pin in kilt being the problem I would agree it could be, hence my above mention of a kilt magnet.

We used to run several Landies at one time and at the time very good they were, but now we have gone to Toyota pickups and the modern Landies are just too expensive to maintain, run and frankly and sadly, they are just expensive bone shakers!

Very good!
My thing is, every time I get in the car I have to be very careful, or the steering wheel pulls on the pin. Also there have been times when I've been piping in a crowded pub, having to shove my way through chairs and tables, when the pin catches on something. (Both of my hands are occupied!)
Though due to being wary I've not damaged a kilt, I'd rather not have to worry about it, so off the kilt pins came, around 20 years ago.
Back in the 80s, heck, I always wore two of the things!
Nowdays, nada
well my Royal Stewart kilt has ribbons

the large saftey pin is a millitery design I prefer them to to the more fancy kilt pins which I have lost a few as they seem to be easy damaged and fall off .
