Actually, it is going steady, but you also have to let her wear your letterman jersey, too.

I have about half a dozen pins, some are clan crested others are celtic in theme, original inception... lost in antiquity. I favor my Nappy Pin for casual wear (military issue), bling pins for dress/informal/formal wear. I once tried fishing with a hand line with the nappy/horse blanket one, all I caught was a sense of the rediculous. LOL>

I've switched to the traditional blanket pin on my wool kilt, which is like a four inch long safetypin. They are supposed to be made of stirling silver, but mine is just nickle plated steel or something like that.

I use other pins on my pleated-canvas man-skirt... unfortunatly.

Mine is made to match my cap badge a "Rampant Lion". My family Crest.

It was my understanding that Queen Victoria wanted kilt pins on kilts to assure that no one was indiscreet. It was--according to the legend I learned--then that the jocks pinned it only to the outer apron since pinning it to both adveersely affected the swing of the kilt.

I like kilt pins because they add a degree of style and--dare I say it? Dare, dare--panache to one's personal kit.

I tend toward the blanket pin (big safety pin) and a Scottish Rite pin, but i do have others. I recently purchased one of those Miracle brooches everyone was bragging about, but I haven't worn it yet. This is a photo:



Pretty slick on a weathered tartan, no?

Since the question has already been answered... I'll just say that we're all happy that you're not the only one, as well. A whole bunch of men? This place would need some serious pretty-ing up! Although I just speak for myself- I'm one homely git.

I think you guys make it look pretty good around here! Thanks for letting me in the 'men's' club

See, this is why I love being here. The wit, the kilts... it's enough to make a girl swoon.

And you're not even the only kilt-crazy lass in your area. Are you coming to the north Utah kilt night the first Saturday in May?

I shall be there, I shall be kilted, so shall my husband and by then 12 month old daughter.

Glad to know it! I was thinking about going, it sure is far north though ;) don't any members live closer to Provo?

I'm just imagining a conversation with my husband:

"Honey, how about we drive two hours north to go hang out with a bunch of kilted people I met on a message board for people who love and wear kilts?"

Now, that doesn't sound crazy to me, but my husband....

I'd love to though, so I'll see what I can swing!
