    I very rarely (hardly ever) wear a kilt pin; They serve no practical purpose, and like you I see no need to perforate a $400 garment. I too have heard previous horror stories of them snagging and tearing aprons, or extravagantly expensive or sentimentally valuable pins being lost forever.


    As any expert in kilt etiquette knows, only proper and traditional method for a gentleman to keep his aprons down in high winds is by the weight of a suitably generous flask of usage beatha in his sporran; this works best if it's from Islay, and at least 12 years old (blends don't work worth a damn!). This method has the added benefit of having been repeatedly proven highly efficacious against cold, wind chill, fatigue, peevishness, melancholy, and general malaise. In stark contrast, a mere kilt pin has no medicinal value whatsoever.
