    New Swk Leatherneck What To Do??

    GOOD DAY, Guys what should I do, need any feedback. I want one of the new USMC Leatherneck but it is only in the econo model now. I mean is it worth waiting for the standard or even a wool one. I only have SWK standards now (don't count my one from Sports Kilt), Do any of you know or have you heard if the Leatherneck is to be made in the other models, how does a econo stack up with the standard? Again this will be my next kilt and it would look really good under the tree this Christmas THANKS Wes

    Do a search. I know Jerry did say the USMC Leatherneck tartan would be available in Standard and TWO versions of the wool heavy weight (the regular knife pleat and a special limited box pleat version.) I have all three lines of SWKs (in three different tartans.) I would personally say wait for the heavyweight. Best of luck to ya.

    Like have them made to length? I'd have one of SWK's but for that one factor.
