Just my unsolicited opinion....but....some tartans should be sewn up into hand sewn kilts....the Leatherneck tartan is soooo beautiful when hand sewn from wool - a whole better gooder sharper look than when presented in synthetic fabrics.

Worth saving for.

Only way your friend or you will find an inexpensive leatherneck kilt is one that is made from synthetic fabrics...kiltmaker won't be able to change that synthetic look.
