My new kilt pin

[bear]

Rudi of Celtic Empire has these silver tara brooches on his site for $185.00.
I've been coveting one for a long time.

You should see this thing on my black kilt! It is the perfect weight and a real beauty!

The Pin is after my fancy, too.

Looks really beatiful. As it is so expensive does it fasten securely. I've lost a cheaper one.

Now I use both hot glue and a rubberband to hold it in place..(the pin that is)........Oh! behave....

I personally got a look at this Kilt pin the other day whilst picking up my new Kilt(finally) . It is a very nice looking Kilt pin with a little bit of size to it as well. If I had the money to spend on one I probably would.

I'll take some pics to show how this thing fastens. I can't see it coming loose.

That pin in beautiful. If I had the funds right now I would get one..but it will have to wait.

A day later and I'm still fascinated with the thing! I love the mechanical simplicity as to how it stays on. Ingenious. though hardly a new idea.
I guess I'd better sell them on my site. I'll see if I can get the price down but no promises until I speak to Rudi.

I keep drooling over the thing, it would be mighty fine looking on any kilt.

Here's how the thing works. Cool in its simplicity.
(I still can't take a decent photo.)

First, push the pin through about 1/2" of fabric. I find an angle works better than straight down.


Then fold the torc over the pin. The pin is kept on the torc with a ring on the back of the pin head.


Then pass the torc under the ring. The knobs on the end of the torc and its weight keep it there.

Thanks for the piccies Bear, I've never seen anything like that!
