<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9554896, member: 2844&quot;]There still is. I used to wear a silver sword kilt pin on my lady&#039;s kilt for instance, way back when. The crossguard was decorated with Celtic motifs.</p><p>The kilt came with a plain safety pin style, but that was replaced the next day. A girl likes her jewellery.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Kilt pins are generally long and slender (like swords), so it closes the kilt over a longer area, and doesn&#039;t catch on anything.</p><p>A grouse foot brooch would make walking through brush very taxing, because it would get caught on every branch you pass. It would be fine on the lapel, where it is usually worn, because that is higher up.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gent in the last photo is wearing a plaid brooch as kilt pin, btw, Tara brooch style. You wouldn&#039;t see that later on, but those where the days of the first Celtic Revival, when they were experimenting with how to introduce Celtic elements into their surroundings.</p><p>He is also wearing it high up on the kilt. (He probably hasn&#039;t had to go for a wee yet.)</p><p>With the more recent gent&#039;s fashion of wearing kilts the plaid brooch could conceivably make a comeback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
