New Breton Waist-Plate

[Hamish]

Many thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. You too Martin:

Hello, Ham,
I'll be different and say I don't think much of the kilt pin.
The belt plate would be smarter without the kilt pin design in the centre (although the idea of matching pin and plate is a good one).
I wonder where they are made.

All the best,
Martin

Tous le goûts sont dans la nature, Martin!

They are of very heavy pewter and were designed in France - but superbly made in Scotland by Pewtermill Crafts Ltd. I do not know if Richard du Clos ('La Maison du Kilt' à Paris) had a hand in the design, but it would not surprise me if he had!

I think they're very nice. Just be careful you don't stab yourself with the top of the belt buckle as you lean over!

Aye Andrew. That one had crossed my mind. I have not worn it yet as I need to get hold of a suitable day belt for it. The plate fits my Dress belt but I cannot wear that casually!! All my day belts have pronged buckle fittings and so are unsuited to the plate.

Hamish,

I am much more impressed by your ability to root out such gems than I am the gems themselves - handsome though they both be.
