Kilt Pin Position

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Just somewhere down in the lower outside corner is fine. It doesn't have to be so many inches in from teh apron edge or up from the bottom. Just use the EB method (the "eye-ball" method) and put it where it looks right.

Matt's advice is the best here (and he ought to know ).

I'm sure the kilted military units have exact rules for placing the pin, but for civilian wearing, just make it look good.

If the wind is as strong as some are describing here, I fail to see what good pinning the outside apron to the inside will do. After all, if the wind is that strong it will take both aprons up with it! I'd rather have them loose, and that way maybe the outside apron will blow up with the inner one staying in place.

In any case, I have never been in wind strong enough to actually blow the front of my kilt up -- it's usually the back that gets blown, and I find even there that it usually feels worse than it is.

I'll be walking downtown and feel like the wind is blowing the back of my kilt all over the place, only to catch sight of myself in the reflection in a store window and see that my pleats are barely moving.
