Military Tartans?

[macwilkin]

I can't speak for British military surplus, but despite the complaints you might hear from soldiers, US military surplus goods tend to be some of the best stuff you can buy. Before I got to be the size of a small car, I often dressed in surplus for the simple fact that my dollar went a hell of a lot further. From everything I've read about military surplus kilts on this board, I am guessing that the value thing would still hold. Indeed, if I could afford, and could fit into a surplus kilt, I'd be right in line for one. Silly sod? No, smart shopper.

Of course, one can argue that you are talking mostly about "battle dress", i.e. camo jackets, trousers, webbing, etc. Which can be bought in many surplus stores.

Regimental tartans have a great deal more tradition and symbolism behind them than a surplus camo jacket.
