Here are the pics of my new SWK Thrifty Leatherneck as promised. Sorry about the facial expression. It was a rough day.

Looking good! (and glad to see I am not the only person who tries orange!)

Actually, the shirt's quite red; my white balance was off in camera.

It looks good. I need to get a couple Thrifties for competing in the Games.

Don't take offense, it none is meant but in that photo you look a bit like Darren from Miami Ink.

No offense taken. Don't know who he is.

Yeah, I just sold my SWK Standard Leatherneck because I lost enough weight that it didn't fit. So, this is my temporary replacement.

PLeated to the stripe, looks good. I didnt know the thrifty was available pleated to stripe, does one just ask Jerry at the order to pleat to the stripe?

It's just the way the Thrifty comes. If I remember correctly my Standard came pleated to the sett, but this came pleated to the stripe with no special request.
