Fasionable to wear Pins on Kilt (not kilt pins)
I recently got a 2-1/2in Roddy Piper Memorial Pin to wear on my kilt in memory of the great wrestler, movie Star, and my childhood hero Roddy Piper.
What's some of your opinions about wearing pins other than kilt pins on your kilt?

There's a very wide diversity of opinion on what makes a pin suitable for kilts. Do you have a photo?
Some examples:

It is absolutely nothing I would ever do, but suit yourself. It's more like any other campaign button than a kilt pin, so I guess you can do whatever you want with it if that's your taste.

Maybe on a utility kilt or other "hanging out with the guys at the bar/pub" sort of attire/situation, but not with traditional dress.
As Father Bill observes, not something I would wear either. But you pay your money and take your choice.

As I may have said elsewhere, My own choice is to wear a pin appropriate for the situation, as I do for ties.
For the sailing club events I have made a sailing boat pin (magnet) of the type I race.
I'm working on something for my model railway club events and also I am looking for something suitable for Collie / dog Events.
For memorial events I have a Poppy wreath, which may be worn on it's own or above my Grandfathers Royal Tank Regiment badge or / and my other Grandfathers WW2 Railway Service Badge.
I have no Idea what I'll wear for the next work event, but it WON'T be a company badge.
So to me wearing that pin would purely depend on the situation.
