    I have a separate kilt pin for each of my tartan kilts. I don't remove them except when the kilt gets cleaned. Never had any problem with them tearing the fabric so far.

    I OCCASIONALLY wear one. Deciding factors:

    1. How windy it is and
    2. The weight of my kilt and
    3. What I'm going to be doing (a crowded situation where it can get snagged or walking around in an open field)

    I put them on and take them off after each wearing... my theory is that since my kilt pins is moderately heavy (at least for a pin), I don't want the weight of it to pull the fabric weave apart over time on my good wool kilts. I'd rather CAREFULLY work the in thru the material each time I wear it.
