Alternative to kilt pins

Good point, but the badge could be embroidered on to seperate material then sewn onto the kilt.

Bubba,

These are bullion badges for a blazer. They are a wee bit too big for a kilt pin, and since they are bullion, probably far too dressy for casual wear.

Cheers,

They are nice Todd, but as you say, wee bit too big for a kilt.

It's not a look that would appeal to me particularly... I like the real thing. However, I suppose it could be made somewhat functional by sewing a small flattened lead weight behind it.

Personally, if I felt the kilt pin was a possible danger to the kilt, I'd just leave it off and go without.

My point exactly, Graham! They are designed to be worn on a blazer.

This is sorta stretching it. I've been pleased with the embroidered patches I've added to some of my Utilikilts. Put them on the cargo pockets of my survivals, workman's, and denim. I like the look, personalizes them. Also a sometimes conversational piece.

I take the embroidered labels off my SportKilts, although they might look better in the kilt pin position than on the waist. Assume there's a reason they're not sewn in the kilt pin position.

Its cool when folks try a different look. You have me thinking of some culture blending, like why not a small Native American concho with leather strands, or just a nice concho?

I know that such a patch would not function in terms of adding weight, but again, a real kilt pin can be dangerous if it gets caught on a ladder or such.

I like the idea of the scottish lion (for example), like the pewter version I bought recently

Does anyone have a link to a pic of the XMARKS kilt pin? I'd like to make a copy, and if it is agreeable to Hank, see if I can find someone who will make an embrodered patch, or at least silkscreen it on a cap.

Attaching an embroidered with velcro would allow you to change it easily whenever you wish.Plus,it would have more"give"if snagged.
