Black Watch in Iraq

[RockyR]

Maybe we should get him a cammo Kilt.

He doesn't need one...he has a Royal Stewart tartan kilt...that is what Black Watch Pipers wear! Besides, the camoflague wouldn't match -- that is British DPM Desert material. :mrgreen:

Last time kilts were worn in combat in the British Army was in 1940, with a few exceptions, of course...

Cheers,

T.

Thanks Todd !.. but then here we have a US Marine who got his first Kilt from Amerikilt. I am sure we can find a cammo to match the Brits and although it would not be "Traditional" this guy from the Fife District would not be insulted I am sure. Only encouraged.

I'll bet you can get bolts of British Desert DPM from various sources, and some of the fine kiltmakers here can work with just about anything they can get their hands on.

Fellas,

The whole band is probably in Iraq...that's a whole lot of pipers & drummers to outfit...and also, British MOD and Army regulations are much more strict in regards to combat "kit". Whilst I'm sure they would appreciate the thought, I doubt they would be allowed to wear a camo kilt.

Not to put a downer on your idea; I think it's great, but there are other ways to support the Watch, as you'll find on the Scotsman's web site.

Cheers,

No downer Todd since that's your choice not mine. If you are not interested that is fine. You certainly have pointed to a good way to support them, but that is why this board is what it is, we all look at things differently. We make our choices based on who we are and what makes us tick. I really don't mind if your hands are not on this clock.

I like the Idea of the Camo Kilt because this method is is a purely "American" way of giving our thanks to these brave men.
