    Your Favorite Kilt Pin

    I'd like to humbly propose a thread on your favorite kilt pin. Perhaps with a picture and a link to where you purchased it?

    I'm asking because I'm at a loss to decide on the perfect kilt pin for my new Kathy Lare Clarke (patiently jonesing - if that's possible). Thanks and looking forward to seeing the cool pins.

    My favorite kilt pin is/was a small, silver penannular, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, thatr I found on eBay a few years ago. It's not the typical claymore, etc. that you normally see as a kilt pin, so I like it for that. The only thing is I can't seem to find it. I usually leave it on the kilt I reserve for formal wear, but it's not there for me to show off, unfortunately.

    My favorite is a gold plated fern frond about 2 1/2" long. It my clans plant badge and goes well with the primarily brown and green hunting tartan.

    That's not my photo, but the pin is the same. I like the old style pins because they were simple, traditional, and my first one was given to me by my mom. It was part of her school uniform (yes, for her skirt) so it means something to me.

    I have about 4 that I keep on different kilts.

    My favorite kilt pin is this stag antler pin I picked up last September at the Loon Mountain games in NH. I call it my half-monarch of the glen pin. The vendor was Scotland By The Yard from Quechee, VT. http://www.scotlandbytheyard.com/sco...d-ourstore.htm

    My second favourite at the moment would have to be my Gecko pin that I found on ebay. Here is the review of it.

    And a photo of it on the apron


    I like this pin as it has just about every colour of the tartan in it.

    I got this from USA Kilts. The thing is just plain sweet. I also have the matching belt buckle. They look killer with my Clark.
