That's my, just recently recieved, USA "Off-the-rack" casual kilt that I got just for the cruise. Rocky calls it "Scottish National." I'm not sure, but I think he had it designed or he designed it just for USA. Either way, it's a really nice tartan.

I called him up, after deciding that I didn't want to take many of my more expensive kilts on this trip. Rocky got it to me at almost SWK speed. I ended up only taking my Leatherneck Tank, which I used for the formal nights, and almost all the rest (7 in all) were SWK or USA.

My SWK and USA casuals I used for almost all daily wear and every ashore trip. Ashore and topside it was really hot and humid. Both SWK and USA kilts held up very well.

I traveled in a USA kilt, and it was great for airplane seats. Easy to sweep, and no scrunches when eventually standing. Way better than the jeans that others favored.

Daily I had several good comments on every tartan. It was a fun trip.

More flix to follow.

I'll second the crocs and kilts...who woulda thunk it...Croc Ghillies??

Is it my monitor, or did you dye the tassles on your SWK sporran brown? Or change them out?

A Marine coworker of mine visited Panama under much different circumstances some time ago.

You're sooo right. Them PV kilts are a dream to travel in.

My main reason for wearing the kilt is comfort! Crocs are comfortable! Crocs and kilts go together!

Yup, changed them to brown, now I worry less about what colors I wear. I have a pair of sandals that have black and brown mixed, so now I can mix and match casual colors at will. Brown, Black - who cares!

My First time in Panama was for Escape and Evasion School, and yes it was very different. Someday I'll have to tell you about that time in the jungle, and what I found to eat, and how I caught it. With my hunting and fishing, and boyscout background, it was more fun than anything else. I'm not sure I would want to do it now with this old body.

They were the right choice for visiting the tropics! Ease of use and very cool.
