Law Enforcement kilts

**Norbydog** · 27th January 07, 01:09 AM

There has been so much talk about SWK's Leatherneck tartan that I thought I may make a suggestion to the kiltmakers and distributors online here.

I think it would be profitable if there should be some type of Law Enforcement kilt produced and sold. I am aware there are Law Enforcement tartans, but I haven't seen anything that was specifically advertised as such and sold at a price that an actual Law Enforcement officer could afford.

I know there are at least 4 Law Enforcement officers on this forum, not including myself, and numerous that are former or quasi-Law Enforcement (Riverkilt certainly applies).

And same as the Leatherneck tartan, mere support of Law Enforcement could be a sales push. I will be getting a Leatherneck wool when they are available, although I was not in the military.

Just throwing it out there.

P.S. I know a local defense attorney who may actually buy one for me, since I seem to bring him so much business.

Excellent suggestion! We certainly support the Boys in Blue as much as the Military.

I am in Law enforcement as well and would be very interested in that one.

FHPDO,

You would make #5 of LEOs I know on here.

Good idea, I hope it works out.

Good luck with the suggestion. I'll send your DA a few bucks if he'll get you kilted on the job.

Good idea to have a special tartan. Conceivably you could also wear Black Watch, which many regard as a government tartan.

Actually, it is a government tartan -- Government Sett is its official name, and the Black Watch were originally a paramilitary police force to "watch" the Highlands.

There are several other law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, the RCMP, etc. that have tartans, so why not?

You can add one more to your list of kilted LEO here. I too am interested in a Law Enforcement kilt. Lets talk this one up all we can.
