10 November was a good day.

Ron - Grant,

The Leatherneck tartan is versatile to the max. Put greens with it it looks one way, put blues with it, ditto. To me the blues look more dressy, and the greens look more casual.

I've even worn it with oatmeal hose and a tan shirt.

Great tartan!

For sure!

I have pics in my gallery (page 4) with my Leatherneck tartan kilt and red, gold, tan, and black...maybe green, don't remember....but navy was a new idea for me. Don't have a USMC oriented navy shirt....yet....

Since the MA-1 type flight jacket I made up to honor my little brother is black decided to go with black EGA t-shirt under it and black Lewis kilt hose with the matching tartan flashes.

My 10 November was a good day too.

I started the morning off like all good Marines, getting up early and doing more before 8:00 am than most people do all day. I went over to one of our hospital accounts and assisted in getting their annual flu shot clinic set up. It's a pretty big deal, they get several hundred elderly coming by for their flu shots. It's a drive thru clinic (shots in your car!) so we have to coordinate for hundreds of vehicles coming by in a short time.

I got out of there by 8:30 and made it to my nephews soccer game, then later to my nieces soccer game and their ice cream party afterwards. I got some comments on the kilt, asking about my heritage and such, and I got an opportunity to tell them about the USMC birthday (Leatherneck kilt w/ khaki dress shirt, very much like the Charlie uniform)

From there it was home with the wife, had some family over for dinner, and spent a relaxing evening before heading off to bed.

Yep. You can wear so many colors with that Leatherneck. I even have a yellow shirt that is great with it. Yesterday I went with the khaki shirt and lovat blue hose w/red flashes.

Yellow? I have a yellow shirt! I'll have to try that. Like Ron, I had never thought of that one. But not only the Leatherneck tartan has so many combinations. The vast majority of tartans use at least four colors, any one of which can be chosen to use as an accent color.

Leatherneck and yellow shirt, sounds good, but will wait till another day to try it.

Excellent, kilt not an issue, just as it should be.

I thought that was a US ARMY ad...
Gotta look into getting an Army tartan kilt one of these days.
