As a former sailor who worked with radio battalion Marines, it always irked me that my wife preferred Marine Dress Blues to my choker whites. (Confidentially, so do I, but don't tell her or the CNO I said that.) Steve, if you were to lay this tartan down and ask which branch of service this represented, no veteran who served (reguardless of branch) could say anything other than MARINE. The red crossing the light blue screams "blood stripe." I think this tartan is a winner, and if I had been a Marine, I would be more than pleased to have both the Leatherneck (for daywear) and the Marine Dress Blue (for evening wear) in my kilt closet. And I think you got the proportions to the uniform colors just right, at least to my untrained eye. Love your rationale for the proportions. Well done! (Which I believe still equals five "atta boys.")

Yes, I had to do it my Navy friend! Hahaha! Hey, I thought Richard Gere looked great in An Officer and a Gentleman, but I will admit, Louis Gossett Jr. looked awfully good too!
