Quality of Kilt Pins
Hi
Have just bought my first kilt and am currently in the process of aquiring all the accessories. However am having a problem with the kilt pin. I ordered one from an online retailer and when it arrived I was very disappointed with the quality, it appears to be made out of cheese. The metal was so soft that it bent without any pressure whatsoever.
Admittedly it was a cheap pin and that is perhaps the answer to my own question, but what in your opinion, should the pin be made of. Or to put it another way, what sort of metal should I be looking for. I would like a pin with a bit of weight to keep the front apron down and also some strength so that it doesnt bend when I try to place it in position.
Would be grateful for your opinions.
Many thanks
Grizz
