    They only have US Army because a bunch of guys here went in on ordering it, if I remember the story correctly. Which leaves the rest of us out in the cold unless we get a big enough power block together.

    SASS and Kilts!!?? Now that's pushing the envelope...who'd have thunk it? Good on you.

    There was a shot at special ordering the Leatherneck tartan through USA Kilts that didn't make it. Was not long before the Army tartan did make.

    I passed since I wanted only top of the line hand sewn for my Leatherneck. Just me.

    I've seen the SportKilt leatherneck tartan and the colors seem brighter to me than my hand sewn. Guessing its the type of fabric.

    And there are plenty of comparisons of SportKilt and USA Kilt - I think I even did one a while ago. Whatever had Rocky tied up or your email misrouted, do yourself a favor and take another look at what USA Kilt offers.

    If nothing else. Take a look at the SportKilt flashes vs. the USA Kilt flashes. SportKilt seems to cut their flashes caddywhompus out of whatever scrap is lying around. USA Kilt flashes follow the direction of the tartan and look sharp.

    Next time you're out and about with other rabble check out the USA Kilts so you can see for yourself.

    Sorry if I'm drifting off topic here...I own SportKilts too. Just would hate to see you dump a valuable option over a lost email.
