Wearing the Kilt Pin
I just wanted to ask people,
How do you put your kilt pin on? I know the proper way you put it on is through the first layer only. I do this most of the time, but I feel insecure like this so sometimes I put it through both layers.
Do you people put it through the first only or both?

Just one. I’ve never had an issue with the aprons flapping and that’s even with the lighter PV fabric of my kilt.

Remember to put the pin through a piece of rubber to keep it from being lost if it ever comes open.

The kilt pin does not actually hold the apron down in the wind. That's a myth. You have a second apron behind the first you should have no modesty problem.
Today it is bling. The equivalent of a lady wearing a brooch. That little glint of jewelry to the outfit.

Well why is it one year ago when I was watching a instructional video on how to wear a kilt, it says that "the pin, as well as being decorative, will keep the kilt from flapping and preserve your modesty."?
And I can tell you from personal experience that it does help to keep it down and keep it from flapping.

It said it because the guy who wrote the script didn't know what he was blathering on about.
How can the top apron possibly flash anyone when the bottom apron opens the other direction? Try opening it some time when you're wearing it, or better, have your wife try.
Yes. Especially have your wife try. When you're alone!

It could, but I have not figured out how to get the pin to stick to the back of a brick.

How will this help exactly?

It keeps the pin from sliding off and being lost if the catch comes undone.

The proper way to put it on is through the first layer only. There, you answered your own question  pinning both layers will only restrict the free flow of the fabric and make look odd, and like everyone els3 said, the underapron takes care of your modesty.
