"Jacobite" garb

[Woodsheal]

Woodsheal. How would you use this to hold the plaid on the shoulder? it might sound like a stupid question bu i want to be sure how to do it before i get one. I got a pennanular brooch but its really hard to keep it in place wi that. Keeps slipping out of my jacket.

Here's a pic of my plaid pinned to the shoulder with a bone bodkin:



It will hold it quite securely. If you're worried about holes in your coat, use a thinner pin. Granny's old brass- or silver-headed hat pins work great, too! You can always find antique hatpins on ebay, or locally....
