-- Dior Homme Pins --

[englandmj7]

I remember that I first saw these DH pins a few years ago (maybe 2 or 3?). I am trying to find something similar to them. Simple pins in different shape (stars, shields, anything) and haven't had luck with the pins at military surplus stores....... anyone have any recommendations? These are the Dior ones:

Thanks!

the fist one looks like an Army Ranger pin, sans the horse head.

england, since you mentioned you're skilled in jewelry crafting, wouldn't these be pretty simple to make? They look like relatively simple designs.

I have made brooches/pins before, but:

a.) I figured someone might know where to get them cheap online

b.) I suck at painting and would rather use my time elsewhere

Dude, I appreciate your advice but are you nuts? I don't give a flying fuck if if the "fashion" community thinks they are played, I like them, what the hell else matters? And about heraldry, etc. People on here are not idiots, I think we all know the cultural significance of a shield/coat of arms.....I didn't ask what they were, I asked where to find pins of them.

As far as the e-bay comment..........well let's just say.........I am perfectly capable of typing "Dior Pin" into a search bar........my question involved where I could find a cheap substitute....... Like I said, it doesnt have to be a frigging shield.....it could be a star, or circle, or triangle it doesn't matter..........

I don't mean to come off as a dick but seriously.............

i agree with englandmj7 to an extent there. i think the coat of arms thing is overdone on shirts, because i see a ton of shirts like that.

but who the FUCK has a heraldry pin? thats what i call flash

Understood, sorry if I came across as a jerk.........

You're thinking of one of the US cavalry division's insignia (7th most likely). Army Rangers use nothing like that.

anyone know where I could order a pile pins in the shape and style of those dior/heraldry pins, I can't seem to find anywhere online that sells that shape blank so i could paint on whatever I wanted.
