The same can be said for those of us that wear the Gordon Highlander tartan, I was never a member of any Scottish regiment and yet I wear the WPG Gordon Highlander with pride because it represents my ancestry and the people who served as I have chosen to serve my country.
I wear the desert MARPAT Sports Kilt with the Marine Corps Marathon patch as my weighted kilt pin because that was my first marathon (4:05:20) and I make no claim to being a Marine, it is worn with pride.

Finally, I really like the Maple Leaf tartan but I am not Canadian but I would wear it for its beauty and to inform those that ask its origin etc...
So, I say do it, get the Leatherneck Tartan and wear it with pride.
