Kilt pin?
Kilt pin?
What kilt pin?
Oh, you mean that hat badge that gets put on the bottom right corner of the front kilt apron to snag things and put HOLES in the kilt!!!!!
I have a few, but stopped wearing them, unless it was a formal (coat and tie to tux) occasion. Sometimes not even then, but people feel a need to say I'm missing something (like that uselss and destructive parasite is part of the uniform!)
Now,Those kilt pins make GREAT hat badges!!!!

This is a pin I recieved for making a $5.00 donation to support prostate cancer research....

Good weight + 2 pins securing it thru the fabric.

Many new age shops do a wide range of items that can make superb kilt pins.
I'm rather partial to copper coloured ones, and I have several with a dragon motif, presently I'm wearing a copper lion. Whilst my absolute favourtite is a Norse silver key, with the gripping beast design, copied from one circa 1000CE.
The kilt pin is a way of expressing individuality, and can often with a bit of thought set off the kilt better than the rather boring swords etc.
By the way in over sixty years of kilt wearing-uner all sorts of conditions, I've never had one damage a kilt.

I agree here completely, I don't wear any kilt pins, never saw the use of them but then I've never been one for a bunch of jewelery either.
