I know what you mean Ron. I am usually in a USAK or my X-Kilt from Alan, but it does feel good to strap on some serious wool! Got my eye on one of the SWK HW USMC Box pleat kilts. Just trying to come up with a reason to wear it. Never served myself, but my paternal grandfather was in the Navy, WWII and Korea I believe. Oldest uncle on my Dad's side was Air Force, and wife's father is retired Army CWO. Got the USKA Army tartan to honor him, and planning on the Air force tartan, and a Navy one in the next few months to honor the other ancestors. Just no jarheads that I have found so far. I know I can wear it to honor those who have served (such as yourself), or are serving, but I wanted a closer tie. Oh well, might have to just go for it.
