Kilt Pin, Anchor Weight Or True Pin?

[GordonH]

There's always the trick I use when wearing a kilt pin - wear one that's handmade, and references another hobby, even if few recognize it. Now, I still would like to find an EASY way of enamel coating it, I'm thinking a metalic red would look sharp on it...

Interesting. I am a radio amateur too (GM4SVM).

Just joined the forum to say that I was brought up to use a non decorative kilt pin to go through both layers of cloth and pin the kilt together. The pins we used as children were non decorative and resembled large safety pins. My kilt maker always pins through both pieces of fabric. Maybe its because of the high winds we get here? Certainly walking down the street in an unpinned kilt would involve having to stop it blowing about.
