virgin-burner 1 #1 May 14, 2012 so, do you!? when my last one broke, i've made one myself, buying beads n'stuff, made some for friends as well as presents, of course all in "their" colors - a true FAG wont let another be not matchy-matchy! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

angryelf 0 #2 May 14, 2012 I thought I looked really cool in Gatorz and a Closing Pin necklace for my first 150 jumps. Then I realized that nobody but skydivers thought it was cool. Then again-I know people with thousands of jumps that still rock one..."Sometimes you eat the bar, and well-sometimes the bar eats you..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missbrz 0 #3 May 14, 2012 I voted boobies b/c there wasnt a "sometimes" option. I also make them myself and have several different colors to match different outfits. If I think it goes with my outfit, I'll wear it. If not, I dont. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern_Man 0 #5 May 14, 2012 Nope. I've never liked wearing jewelry of any kind, usually don't even wear a watch, so I have no interest in a closing pin necklace."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, my darling, I do - but only for skydiving. Mine shows "Tonto", which I wanted to meet in person in SA and just missed him few hours before he died. Thanks to some nice guys here on this site, I was in the position to get one. dudeist skydiver # 3105 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sickandtwisted 0 #8 May 14, 2012 I started wearing one when I was a packer back when we had spring loaded pilot chutes. If I forgot the ripcord, then I could put the pin from my necklace in place until I got a ripcord. (Yes I know, I'm Old)Skymama stalker #69!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janz 0 #17 May 14, 2012 It's ok for amyone if that's what they choose. But if I were goimg to wear closing pin jewelry it would have to be unique like a closing pin Prince Albert or whatever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pontiacgtp00 0 #20 May 15, 2012 I used to wear one, but not anymore. With the "gay movement" these days, the general population thinks the closing pin is a homosexual symbol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybill 22 #22 May 16, 2012 Hi V-B, No but then the only jewelry I wear is my wedding band. 'Don't even have any tats. But i have a curved pin on my key ring next to my "P-38" (GI can opener) and the P/C attach ring from the top skin of my old "Dragon Fly!" had a couple of curved and straight pins in my Riggers tool box and Shaun O'Neal saw them and asked for one. Gave him two. He said he gave one to his girlfriend and the next day at work he was sportin a big shit-eatin grin. Said I,"What gives?" He said he gave his girlfriend the pin and it proceeeded to get him laid!!!! 'Ya gotta love it!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TriGirl 299 #23 May 16, 2012 QuoteI voted boobies b/c there wasnt a "sometimes" option. Same here. Made one for my nephew once he started AFF. He about fell over when we gave it to him.

Hellis 0 #24 May 16, 2012 Yes. A homemade necklace made of 900 lbs dacron with a "hommade softlink closing" at the back. But I would not wear one if I didn't make one myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita 13 #25 May 17, 2012 I wear one most of the time that I made myself. I have gotten compliments from jumpers and non-jumpers and have had people think the closing pin was all kind of things but mostly a zodiac sign of some kind."Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
