Is there a proscription now regarding what tartans can be worn by individuals?? The only one I was aware of, IIRC, is the Balmoral worn by the British royal family....
Is this restriction something new for the US Armed Services tartan?
Wow am I confused.....

As Jerry states,
The USMC Tartan can be worn by anyone wishing to show support for the USMC.
I like the Tartan, and plan to get one.....
And I wonder what my father would think (in USMC during Korea, though never made it past Hawaii!).

beerbecue,
I was just speaking for myself. I support all those who serve our country but would like to have a connection to a service tartan if I was to wear it. Now my Grandfather and all 7(!) of my Grandmother's brothers served in the Navy in World War II, I would be very happy to wear the gorgeous blue Navy tartan.
No confusion intended! 
Cheers

 nice tartan!
Hi folks!
That "leatherneck" USMC tartan is a very nice one indeed!! I'd love to have one - however, since I'm an Aussie and have never served in any military unit, I guess I'll just have to admire it "from afar", so to speak.
And envy those who can legitimately wear one! ;)
cheers

It's a great offering, and I strongly agree that a US Army choice in PV would be a HUGE seller (are you listening SWK and USAK??)....

SWK leatherneck WEAR IT !
H-man , are you kidding, ?
i'm no marine, leather neck, or jar-head, ( said with affection...back off..)
but i figure, i would get a USMC kilt in a NY minute, AND a MARPAT one as soon as i can justify the $..
why? family, support, pride, because i live 2 miles from Quantico..,and the looks on some faces when you tell the it's a marine kilt...kinda takes the edge off some..
here in the US, i don't remember running into kilt cops telling me how or what to wear...you shouldn't have anyone in OZ doing the same..

The USMC one is nice...... But as a former tech for the Army I think it would be nice if he offered the Army Tartan as well.......

Does anyone else have any concerns over the fact that Stillwater is selling kilts designed to honor the USMC that are made in Pakistan?
