Kilt pin traditions & standards?

[Steve Ashton]

I've actually had many military kilt come into my shop with rips in the inner and outer apron where the two were pinned together.
You would think that the pin would give first. But the evidence is pretty clear when you see it.

I tried the magnet thing on a pin I made. I had it yanked right off the kilt when the pin decided it liked the bumper of a car more than my kilt when I walked through a parking lot. No more magnets for me.

I also don't wear pins while in the shop. It seems that the knee lift on my industrial machines hit my right kilt right where the pin is and does unspeakable things to them and their clasps.
