    It is possible to find 'blanket pins'/kilt pins finished in brass or copper. I have also painted a pin in black. These are just personal variations. When studying some of the vintage kilt pictures, some men wore the pins 'upside down' which opens up another set of 'kilt rules'...So,lets get pinning!,

    I've only ever worn mine with the opening "down." If for some odd reason the pin were to open, I figure it won't fall out.
