Steve mentioned using patches in lieu of kilt pins. I sew fuzzy-side Velcro onto my overaprons. I use contact cement to adhere hook-side Velcro to the back of patches and other items I want to use as a "pin." Makes for a quick-change kilt "pin" and maintains the look of modern BDU's.



Here is the same kilt in action just yesterday. Snapped a photo after spending 5 hours doing maintenance on a muddy section of trail here in western NC.
