    Thanks to all for your responses, I am ex-army and my son is now serving. So as long as it looks good on me that is the way I am going to go. I will get the us army tartan from sports kilt to throw and lift in cause they are very comfortable and stretch with movement. I'll have my kids buy me a better one for general wear. Thanks Riverkilt for the pics, that helped me make up my mind as it looks very sharp. I see you have it in semi traditional and I've read others have it in casual, but I don't see it on usa kilts web site. Does any one know if they still carry it or will I have to go wool?? Peacekeeper83 I understand your loyalty to the marine tartan, as I will always consider my self to be army and 10th mountain to boot.
    Thanks again to all

    I'm ex-Army, and find myself wearing that kilt most often, lately. It's a 5-yarder in 16 oz. fabric from Alexis Malcolm. I like the "balance" and comfort of the reduced yardage kilts as opposed to the 8-yarders, plus they're a tad cheaper (though I did pay her extra to hand-sew it!).

    A tartan related to a past or present association that you're proud of is the way to go. You stand taller when you wear it...!

    I'd suggest an Isle of Skye. Great looking tartan.
