Jamie has asked for photos of our favourite kilt pins but, since I have no favourites (I like 'em all or I would not own them!), that would mean 73 photos from me. No! I tell a lie - I have one on every kilt except kilts like Utilikilts, so that reduces the number in use to about 59. On the other hand, I have some seven 'spare' kilt pins, waiting in the wings for new kilts to come along, making it 66. Call it 67, because I have a new pin coming from France in a few weeks with my new Bro-Leon tartan kilt from Brittany.
I think I'll opt out of this thread, as nobody, but nobody, will want to wade through 67 photos of my pins!

I probably would wade through them all.
Be well,
Oooooo, I so need one of those for my 6 year old. He is a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan and has a Jack Sparrow badge as a kilt pin right now.

Jamie, Howie's website says they do not sell the 21st. Century Kilt pin. They give them away when you buy one of their kilts. At the current exchange rate that's a pretty pricey pin.

(See above) If you can talk him out of one or three well........PM me.

I will have to see what I can do!
I knew my response would be of interest to some! Maybe I'll get a chance to meet Howie this time (he wasn't there when I was last year).

Dee,
Too bad they don't sell them separately , it's a handsome pin.
Mark,
If you do meet Howie you need to rush up to him and ask him "Howie How do you do, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wow is it true that you have met THE Hamish Bicknell? What is he like? Did you get his autograph?"
Cheers

Oh, VERY droll, Jamie! Very droll.
By the way, if you attend the Storrington Gathering in June 2008 you too will meet THE Hamish Bicknell, set foot in his home and, if you ask nicely, will be given his autograph ......... why, you might even get to be photographed with him! How about THAT?!

You beat me to making the same reply Dee. TFCK's pewter lightening-bolt kilt pin is given with every kilt supplied by Howie - they cannot be bought separately. Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd kilts do not qualify, only TFCK ones.
However, Howie does sell a silver-plated version of his lightening-bolt pin at £25.00. I have one, but it was a Birthday gift from Howie a few years ago!
