I NEED a LEATHERNECK kilt

[switchblade5984]

who makes them in the 2-400 dollar range and how fast?

You can get a cheapy at Sportkilt for a bit over a hundred. I'm sure you mean a wool kilt though.

Kiltstore's another source. I don't know how fast they are though.

From KiltStore.net, a made-to-measure 5 yd. kilt in 13 oz. "Leatherneck" is $308 with the X-marks discount. When I bought a kilt from them last year, it took less than a month to recieve it....

One of the things I need to save for myself... a kilt from kiltstore.net. This is I believe, part of the scotwebstore ring? They have always been nothing but helpful with answering my questions, and I have wanted to get a kilt from them for many years now (since I first discovered the site way back when, long before I even knew that there were casual kilt makers). Of course, the problem is always "what tartan?" Woodsheal, I wish you luck in your search, as I know (as well as everyone else on here) how difficult it can be to decide on what new kilt to get, and where to get it from! I am almost thinking an 8 yard tank in the Huntly district tartan soon. That shows respect for a couple different family lines, both by blood, and by marriage.
If I recall correctly the U.S. Marine's tartan was rather nice (I am guessing that is what you mean when you say "leatherneck, as I have always heard that used as a slang term for Marine).

Switchblade:
Is it this tartan pictured here:

I think the nickname "leatherneck" was derived from one of the uniform pieces that were worn way back when, dunno if it was WWI or WWII, but I am thinking somewhere around there. I could be way off, correct me if so.

It's a good looking tartan, but I am guessing that you want it for more than just the looks.

correct sorry the mill that makes it calls it the leatherneck tartan

leather neck is a tem from colonial times! a leather piece fastened around the neck to protect and keep ones neck straight

now represented by the dress blues high collar

from wiki
A United States Marine, from the high leather collar formerly worn with formal uniforms, and in fighting uniform during the days of shipborne, sword-wielding boarding parties, when Marines were issued a leather gorget.

[cavscout]

The collar was actually intended to protect from cuts to the throat. Though they were so uncomfortable that when Marines were in the field the collars mysteriously disappeared.
