Re: Difference Between US Marine Corps Tartan & Leatherneck Tartan
WOW Steve... Talk about Pictures Being Worth a Thousand Words !!! I can hardly wait for Barb T. to see all of this and hear her reply!!! After reading her Initial Posting from December 2011 about the difference she found in the US Air Force Tartans that she made up for her Daughter (Man... She sounded like she was Really Getting Fired-Up about that problem in all her subsequent postings.) And that got me thinking about checking into the Marine Tartans to see if there was a similar problem between the US Marine Corps Tartan (STA #975) and the Leatherneck Tartan (STA #3612). And sure enough... There it was !!! The Exact Same Problem that Barb ran into with her Daughters Tartans !!! Too Bad that I didn't find out about the difference between the two Marine Tartans before I ordered my New Leatherneck Tartan. I really would have preferred the Brighter Colored US Marine Corps Tartan (STA #975) over the more Subdued Color of the Leatherneck Tartan (STA #3612). Oh Well... Live & Learn !!! I just hope that my choice of having the Leatherneck Pleated to the Double Gold Stripe will kind of Brighten the Tartan Colors up a bit.
You know what we at XMS should do ??? We should all get together and sign some sort of Petition to the Mills, stating our Greivances about the Lack of Professionalism that they are displaying in the production of their Finished Products. We are Paying WAY TOO MUCH for their Actistic Liberties.
I think I'd better get down off of my Soap Box now before somebody writes my name in the box at the bottom of the Ballot for President of The United States of America !!! What a Nightmare that would be (For ME... not the Country) !!!
Thanks Again Steve...
