Metal pins to put on the jacket: the story of one of the most famous accessories
Even today it is not clear who actually created the first pins.
Probably the pins were born with the advent of the inlay technique, used since ancient Egyptians.
The Egyptians incorporated coloured enamel-like materials onto a typically copper base, then fixed them together.
In Europe, the first pins make their appearance in the Bronze Age. However, it was only between the 13th and 14th centuries BC that pins began to be worn as we know them today.
Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, one of the most important jewels that a woman could wear was the brooch.
The use of pins and badges, however, peaked especially during the American Civil War and World War I.
During the Civil War, soldiers wore pins so they could be quickly identified in the field.
After the World Wars, more and more people wore pins to launch political messages or as a sign of belonging and solidarity to a group.
In the eighties, metal pins became a pop accessory, because they often depicted logos and messages of musical groups or cartoons.
After a few years in silence, pins are back in fashion again, because they can be applied anywhere on belts, shoppers, backpacks, ties, hats and clothing, thus confirming a versatile and evergreen accessory.
Types of jacket pins: from classic to pop metal
There are numerous varieties of pins depending on the type of cover and the type of closure. Metal ones with an epoxy resin print can be worn on a daily basis, while other more special ones are perfect for special occasions. Click here to discover some original ideas for wearing pins.
How to wear metal pins
However, although pins can be worn at will, few know that there is a way to wear them properly. This is not accidental, but depends on the type of brooch, the event and other factors.
In principle, metal pins for men's jackets should be worn on the left side of the jacket. If you are not wearing a jacket, you can put the pin on your tie or shirt. In the first case, the pin will be placed in the center of the tie.
The same goes for formal women's clothes, such as the classic black dress. The metal pins are to be used individually and always on the left side. However, this essentially applies to important occasions.
Customise metal pins: make your accessories unique
The most casual jacket pins consist of a flat metal base, on which a logo or pattern is engraved or placed in epoxy resin.
These can simply be flaunted for fashion or to indicate affiliation with companies, organizations or charities.
