do ladies wear kilt pins?

[zirrow]

Has anyone considered replacing the Pin part of the kilt pin with rare earth magnets? That way the pin could still be worn, but it wouldn't damage the fabric and that type of magnet is strong enough to hold through normal wear and then some.

I recall someone saying they had tried this, but walking by a kitchen appliance or any other ferrous object could cause an embarrassing moment.

Yes. Wear the pin to stab handsy Scotsmen, if need be.

I hadn't really given that any thought. I assumed the thickness of the kilt pin would put enough distance between the magnets and objects for it not to be a problem. Should have thought about kitchen appliances.

I think The Wizard of BC described the magnets doing that.

no worries - I too thought it sounded like a great idea until I saw the "danger" mentioned

You can see the variety of kilt pins worn by members, which work equally well for both sexes

Not sure if I'd be classified as a lady or not, but I am female and I do wear sparkly and shiny pins on my kilted skirts.

The kilt pin I made uses 2 neodymium magnets to hold it in place. I've only had trouble a couple times, one was when I sat on a steel bench, wasn't too dificult to reclaim the magnets, the other when I was getting into a friend's jeep, and the kilt pin decided to grab the door frame. (I was getting in the back seat)
