Default Attaching Rally Pins To Your Vest
How do you attach rally pins to your vest? Do you use the pins? Someone suggested cutting the pins off and glueing them on.

No pins, no patches, nothing but black leather and snaps on my Fox Creek vest

I attach them with those locking back pieces so they don't fall off

I use a small nail to make the holes in the vest first, attach pin and I use Pin Keepers to keep them in place...

Lots of patches on my vests, but no pins -- too heavy, too uncomfortable.

No. The pin lock things are kind of uncomfortable.
