Show us your favorite Kilt Pins

[Hamish]

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!

Here's my favorite "kilt" pin. It was Panache's pin-he picked it up at Disneyland this past year. But, when I saw how well it went with loud Macleod, I stole it.

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.

c152f,

I really like the 21st century kilts Lightning Bolt kilt pin.

I should find out how much to get one over stateside.

Cheers

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.

My current favorite as well.

They are usually here (and will be this year as well) in NY for Tartan week. If you are very kind, maybe we can work something out!

(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?"

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!

Okay...finally got around to it.

Most of my kilt pins are the standard clan issue.

I took Ham's advice and have one on every tartan kilt. Thirty total.

Somewhere I also have one with the traditional sword but the shield is the Latin for "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down." That's kinda my motto at work.



This isn't made for a kilt pin, but I wear it as one on my Prince of Wales tartan.



I took some green Testors Enamel paint and added it to the shamrock so it'd stand out more. Works so far. Wear it on my saffron kilt.




My red head commissioned two kilt pins from a Hopi artist she knows. This is a bear with a bear claw. She thought it was indicative of my massive girth. I wear it on my Isle of Skye kilt.




Like Macman's Nimpkish pin, this was also commissioned by a Hopi artist by my lady. She had it made for me to wear on my RAF tartan kilt, and I do.



I found this USMC kilt pin on sale at a Highland games and snapped it up. Wear it on my Leatherneck tartan kilt in honor of my late brother's service.



Wear this U.S. Army kilt pin on my U.S. Army tartan kilt in honor of my late father's service in the Army Air Corps and my late uncle's service in the Infantry in War II.

One Picture of all 67 will do!
