Close, but not exactly. Here's the Royal Marines regimental tie.


The width of the stripes, and layout, on my tie are a bit different. But the colors are more or less the same.

As far as I know this is not an actual regimental tie. It doesn't match any that I am familiar with in any case. As I said, I found it in a discount clothing store in Charleston, SC, and was very happy that it matched the kilt so well!

It's not from Ben Silver, is it Matt? Their North American headquarters are in Charleston. Ben Silver produces a number of regimental ties.

Matt's photos are proof-positive that striped ties do work with kilts, which many of us have known for some time.

Nice kilt, I really like the colors in it. Makes you proud to be a Yorkie. Well done Barb on such a fine kilt.

Great looking kilt and kit Matt. One of Barb's creations has been on my wish list for some time now. Another outstanding job by Barb.
