I only use my dirk kilt pin now...


I used to use my Gunn "Art Pewter" kilt pin... similar to what so many have..

[Mr. MacDougall]

At the moment, I only have one kilt pin -- the Clan MacDougall pin that I've had since I was a teenager, over twenty years ago. It's the dead standard one, with the mailed fist and "Buidah no Bas" -- Conquer or Die.

I've been thinking about wearing my Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist (ESWS), Enlisted Air Warfare Specialist (EAWS), or Naval Aircrew badges on my Navy tartan kilt, but haven't actually done so, yet.

Officially, I know it's a Hogwarts Ravenclaw house pin inspired by the Harry Potter books, but to most everyone else, it's just a crow.

I know I'm being pedantic, but the mascot of House Ravenclaw is the Eagle. I, by the bye, am the moderator of the Ravenclaw community on LiveJournal.

and my eagle from one of the Puebloan tribes (the artist was rather coy about which pueblo).

Which usually means "it's something I thought up that looks semi-traditional, but I don't want to tell this white boy that, or he won't want to buy it." It's a beautiful pin, and I wish it were something traditional, as I'd want to buy one.

My current favorite kilt pin isn't really a kilt pin but it works for me.
It's one of those heather gems and I think it goes well with my green Amerikilt.

So...any plans for production?

[Rab Gordon]

I'll probably make a few, I'd like to offer them custom made to match my Sgian Dubhs.

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.
