New Kilt Pins

[Hamish]

Two nice pins there, Dave, and I like the way you have colour co-ordinated the stones with the tartans. I particularly like the second one, with its unusual design. Personally, with all my kilts, I have had my fill of sword kilt pins and am constantly on the look-out for pins that are that little bit different.

As many of us have said in the past, it is vitally important (for the good of our kilts) to have a pin for each one and for it to be removed only when having the kilt cleaned.

I particularly like these from St.Justin:

Thanks Hamish. I remembered your advice about a pin for each kilt. I was specifically looking for a pin with a yellow stone for the MacIan tartan, as that is the kilt I am going to wear with my formal outfit and I wanted it a bit fancy.

I really liked the design on the second one myself. It's still somewhat martial in appearance with the hammer shape, but it wasn't the all too common sword. Like I said, it's from ScottishKilts.net, in their Celtic kilt pins.

The designs on the link you provided are also interesting. I'll have to keep them in mind for future kilts.

Great kilt pins. And, Ham, thanks for the link to others.

Great looking pins. The ones Hamish posted a link to are nice also.

Those are indeed very nice. I had been looking at these pins on Scottishkilts.net, and now that I see how nice they look on a kilt I want a couple even more.

Be careful with the Spear Knot Kilt Pin; it has a weak spot where the two parallel loops end in the middle. I have one, and it will bend easily if you happen to press up against something - like say, the steering wheel as you climb in, or the edge of a chair.

I just wanted to post a follow up to Ham's recommendation about St. Justin. I ordered two pins from them a couple of weeks ago and they arrived yesterday--individually boxed and neatly packaged with a handwritten note apologizing for the "delay" (what delay?) They are very nice, good weight and well-made. The price is exceptionally reasonable and the shipping charge was about as low as it can get for airmail from the U.K.





(Don't let the "copper" effect on the pins fool you. They are both stainless steel. I believe I had a relection from above.)

So, lads, my strong recommendation goes to St. Justin of Cornwall. Give them a try and let Eileen know you heard about her on XMarks.

Be careful with this one; it's weak where those two parallel loops end. You'll find yourself straightening it at that point occasionally, and wondering "How did it get bent like that?"
