Your Favorite Kilt Pin

[fluter]

Stillwater has the big blanket-pin style. They make a nice fallback for kilts without a dedicated pin.

Possibly my favorite, from Celtic Croft by St. Justin, in Cornwall:

There are a few more linked there, and in a thread from a while back.

I don't think I have a picture of my favorite - it's a zoomorphic, two celtic hounds intertwined and then facing opposite directions.
My second favorite would be my X Marks kilt pin.

Wow, these are awesome! Great pictures guys, keep 'em coming!

i just got my first kilt pin, the sword kilt pin from SWK (won on an Ebay bid for $.01 and $5.00 shipping. Kilt pin for a penny. Was very happy about that.)

My favorite kilt pin is McMurdo's gecko that is just too cool! Hmmm, I have a silver dragonfly pin along the same lines, will have to make Bob a kilt to go with it!

The St. Justin is lovely too, I bought way too much of their stuff while in Cornwall. And Ron's Hopi pins are fabulous -- what size are they? Again, I have one much like that. . . maybe too big, though.

Meantime I would probably have to pry Bob's globe-and-anchor pin (see BigDad1's avatar) "out of his cold, dead fingers"

found this on ebay, thought it added the "american" theme to the American Heritage kilt.

Just this morning I found out I was the winning eBay bidder for a grouse foot pilt pin with a gold stag head and amethyst set between the antlers. It was from a dealer who had inherited a ton of jewelry from his Scottish grandmother. I, too, like the simplicity of the military safety pin-style kilt pin, but this really caught my eye.

...BTW-- Either your pin, or the photo, is upside down. Worn the way shown, if the pin snapped open, it would slip out and fall to the ground.

I think it looks better right side up so that's how I wear mine. Not much chance of it snapping open unless one is engaged in hand to hand combat.

BTW-- Either your pin, or the photo, is upside down.

Like I said, it's not my photo. But I do wear mine correctly, so it doesn't fall off -- though those pins are so strong, I don't think they ever come undone unless you want them to!

I have a zebra pin that Moosedog gave me and right now it can be seen at the "Clan Zebra!" link in my signature. In the picture, it is with a ceramic zebra relief sculpture I made, but I don't have a good picture of it on a kilt.

I also have a Toro kilt pin from my high school-it went on a necklace-and it stays on my Half Lamont.


I do have the giant safetypin type, but I've never used it, as well as, a sword pin I rarely use.

Finally, I have a skeleton key that belonged to my grandmother. It is attached to a red ribbon bow and safetypins on the kilt.

I'm working on a few others that involve coins and that type of thing.
