Alternative Kilt Pins - What Can You Use? What should you AVOID?

The kilt pin is of moderate practical use today. IN the very early days of wearing the tailored kilt it served as a closure. However, it very quickly became more of a style element. Whereas once upon a time you would pin the front and rear aprons of your kilt together using the kilt in, now one puts the pin ONLY through the top layer. This saves wear and tea4r on the kilt. The kilt pin is essentially just a mild wind weight. It serves to keep your front apron from flapping in the breeze (and to be clear we are talking about annoyance here, not exposure). Not surprisingly, we have a lot of gents now who use all manner of items as kilt pins just for fun. There are no hard and fast rules about what you can use as a kilt pin. However, there are best practices and we feel there are some forms that work better for the purpose than others. Watch and learn!
