Kilt Pin, Anchor Weight Or True Pin?

[PEEDYC]

I have a small collection of kilt pins. It depends on the occasion when I wear which one ie smart or casual or in between. I have one heavy one that I wear usually when out in the real open air. The others are decorative and certainly do not add any weight to the apron.

I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet....

If you peruse the MacLeay prints, you see very few pins at all. The few that you do see are affixed higher than is normally seen today...they look to be just below half-way from waistband to selvedge.

I myself use one about half the time. My favorite is a very heavy one I made with pewter and a stone lance point. This one lives on my Carolina box-pleat, and it is half-way down the apron edge. Any lower and it flops around annoyingly.
