ACAB Pin, Pewter

An anti-authority slogan
ACAB, for All Cops Are Bastards. Born in 20th-century England and popularised by the punk and Oi! scene of the 1980s, the slogan has become a common motif in the biker and rock worlds: an anti-authority message, worn as a provocation. Some prefer the All Cats Are Beautiful version… up to you.

Two attachment points
At 45 mm (1.77 in) wide and 25 mm (0.98 in) high, this pin sits on two posts: it stays straight and won’t rotate on your vest. To make sure you never lose it on the road, try our locking pin backs (you’ll need two).

Handmade, piece by piece
In our family workshop, since 1989, every pin is cast in solid pewter in our own moulds, deburred by hand and given an aged silver patina. The patina brings out every detail, and pewter never rusts.
