Tell newbie about kilt pins

[Jock Scot]

Yes as Jock says the car door can grab a kilt pin! And many other things, especially for pipers and drummers.
............

Just to be clear, I did not say that car doors “grab kilt pins”. I thought I had made it clear that I had never had a kilt pin catching on something(anything)and producing a rip in my kilts and I have never heard of anyone else doing so either. On the other hand, I thought I had made it perfectly clear that Land Rover door latches were the cause of rips and tears and to be clear, not only with kilts.

Two of my kilts for certain sure succumbed to this hazard and in each case the kilt pin had absolutely nothing to do with the incident.Likewise others , not just with their kilts, have been “ambushed” by the dreaded door latch hazard.

I wonder why bandsmen have such trouble with their kilts and kilt pins? I imagine, perhaps wrongly, that the general environment that they wear the kilt is not anything like as “hazardous” to kilts as the countryside.
