    ocupational kilt pin

    Just made myself a new kilt pin for wearing while doing my kilted blacksmithing demos, its made from 1/8" brass with two pin backs brazed on the back, and is presently pined to my denim union kilt.




    just wondering ifthere are other ocupational kilt pins out there?

    I would buy that.

    How about a nice mouse. Or perhaps a penguin, butterfly or apple? Depending on what your preference is.
