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.

Aged gold plating
Our premium version: the pin is cast in solid pewter, like all our models, then given an aged gold plating. The gold keeps a patinated look that brings out the relief without shining like brand-new jewellery.

Screw fastening: it stays put
Instead of standard posts, this pin has threaded posts, each with its own knurled nut. A free-turning notched ring inside the nut lets you tighten firmly without damaging the leather or fabric. Once screwed on, it won’t turn and won’t get lost.

Important: pre-drill the leather
The threaded post is thicker than a standard pin post. You must pre-drill the leather with a 1 mm (0.04 in) tool before fitting the pin. Forcing it without pre-drilling may damage the pin.
