Curse You Kilt Pin! - Preventing Kilt Pin Damage

[The Wizard of BC]

I have begun to make all my kilts with extra, 4 inch, wide apron facings to serve as re-inforcment behind the kilt pin.

I then use a piece of wide rubber band, or in this case a piece cut from the disposable tourniquet from a blood lab, to keep the pin in place just in case it comes open.

I have begun to make all my kilts with extra, 4 inch, wide apron facings to serve as re-reinforcement behind the kilt pin.

I really like this idea. What are your thoughts on reinforcing the proper section of the front apron using the felting repair technique you have described elsewhere to help prevent issue in lieu of this if I may ask?

In the old days, the military would use a piece of canvas, or anything close at hand, as a kilt pin backing.
