Christian cross as kilt pin

[Chas]

I have seen it done before, to great effect, with a bit of grosgrain ribbon behind to denote the 'season'.

If you wish to wear a cross as a kilt pin, wear it! Being retired Navy, I have worn two of my qualification pins (one at a time) and am thinking about using one of my hat devices as a kilt pin. I also have a Fire/Rescue Maltese Cross that is a bit heavy but will also be used as a kilt pin.

Does having the post on the back interfere with the under apron? I have thought of doing the same, but worry that the backing will catch and snag on the under apron.

As to the OP, I can't imagine a more appropriate kilt pin. Seems like a good idea to me.

Just did a Bing search for "celtic cross kilt pin" and a number of nice designs came up.

Classy! Especially if you're Anglican or Catholic.... That could work quite well, I'm sure. (Perhaps some other traditional denominations as well).

I would consider doing something like that too, but I'm not so fond of crosses as much as I used to. I used to wear a really cool-looking silver one on a chain around my neck when I was in college (many moons ago) but I stopped (for personal reasons I probably shouldn't get into on this site).

I do however like some of the alternative suggestions proposed by Mike... To that I would also add a Christian fish as a possibility. I've not seen it done, but I can't see why it shouldn't be.

If you have any nautical background a mariner's cross could look cool as well.

If by "traditional" you mean every other denomination. The Liturgical colors vary somewhat worldwide, but they exist in all branches of Christianity.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Thanks, CDNSushi, my childhood upbringing was raising my blood pressure as I read that.

Funny how those things stick with you for the rest of your life.

I keep meaning to read up on the colors being used that way, it sounds interesting.

Go for it. Crosses are my favorite.

Round kilt pins don't have pointed edges and might be less prone to catching:

Chi Rho, brass on clay, 2.5 inches diameter



Bottany Cross, brass on clay, 2.5 inches diameter

Tyger's work is always good and usually to my liking. His examples are excellent options, especially for the reasons mentioned, i.e., a simple Greek cross may snag or catch on parts of the kilt. I would strongly recommend that you choose something with rounded edges.

Thanks so much for all the replies. Money being an issue I think I will opt for a simple celtic cross for the time being. I really like the round kilt pins shown, but not in the budget at the curremt time.
