Nice one, PC.

Thanks for asking this one, I was wondering myself.

For what it's worth I don't wear kilt pins anymore. I used to wear one of the typical pins that is a sword with the clan crest badge on it, but every one I had would break in some way, so I just got sick of it and quit buying and wearing them. I have seen some people wear cap badges as pins too. So I now just wear my kilt "nekkid" down there.

I don't wear them anymore either, HaggisMacJedi. However; for whatever reason, should I decide to, it will be my sterling silver, 4 inch blanket style kilt pin. I don't care of poking holes in my tartan any longer!

Cheers,

'Couple weeks ago, at the Highland Festival & Games in metro Chicago, there were to be conservative, 4 or so thousand folks kilted, from musicians to honour guard to gobs who minutes before purchased thier ulta-ready-to-wear first kilts, off the rack (and changed in the port-o-potty) sashaying about, oft with pleats-in-front or primarily on either side.

And for the first ime, ever...

...'saw more than a few wearing two to several pins. In varied locations and patterns.

In this opinion, kiltwearing "style" continues in largely "natural selection" evolution and one may expect (fear) to see more display of this "independent thought."
