I have one that is 4" that came with a very old Cameron of Erracht kilt and another about 3.5" that came with my Royal Stewart Strathmore. I've seen similar old ones on ebay for a song. O'Neille

Try a sewing shop, or even Walmart. I'll bet you can just find a big safety pin.

Our very own KiltStore has a rather nice one at:

I really need to check my posts on here more often!!

The kilt pin from Kiltstore.com is a Highlanders (taken from the Gordons) officer's kilt pin. I got mine for US$60 from Bugpiper.net about 5 years ago. It's regiment-specific and wouldn't work for my UDR themed uniform. It's a fantastic pin, though!!

What I ended up doing... I found somebody in Australia on eBay offering a very spirally artistic version of a kilt/nappy pin. I sent him several pics, and about a month and US$45 later, I had my handmade, solid steel regimental pattern kilt pin! It's a little longer than the cheap craft shop versions, but perfect for my purposes.
