I bought a denim jacket to put them in, then I bought locking backs after I lost a very nice one somewhere!

I took some cardboard from cereal boxes and wrapped some crafting paper around it, then put the pins on that and hang it.
Otherwise, backpacks, jackets, vests. Just gotta gauge which are worth potentially losing, if they are at risk of falling off or anything like that.
Walmart lets us wear pins on our vests, so I used to do that. The first time I had to heave a heavy item against my chest and lost several pins I stopped doing it, though 😕 still get loads of pins every Christmas...
My partner likes to adorn their backpacks and jackets with them. I haven't found a good use for them. Finally figured out what to do with all my misc stickers once i got a water bottle. lol
@UrLogicFails Mine go on a corkboard that I hang on the wall. It makes for nice decoration, and I get to admire them whenever I walk past!
A subset of my pins end up on my lanyard when I go to meets/conventions. I have favorites, but I usually rotate between some depending on my mood and what I got recently.
My partners dad loves to collect pins when he travels.
While on the trip, he keeps them in his hat. The hat amasses pins over the course of the trip
When he gets home, he has a shadow box picture frame with foam in it that he sticks them in
