My new Box Pleat Leatherneck from Freedom Kilts

[dfmacliam]

Congratulations on your new kilt and Well said!

I have a Leatherneck box pleat from Matt Newsome and it is probably my favorite - partly because of comfort compared to my tanks, but also because of its significance. I notice you also have the same bonnet badge I do.

At this rate we may have to have a Leatherneck Social Group!

Semper Fi -

I cannot even compare the fit of this kilt to anything I have.. It is so comfortable, and being a box pleat.. I like the spacing of the yellow stripes..

We should... have the Leatherneck Tartan Social Club...LOL..we already have Semper Fidelis Social Club

.. just get our Marines, and associates.. kilted in the Leatherneck...LOL..

Great looking kilt. Wear it proudly. Thank you again for serving.

Actually Jamie, I think you hit it. It's my understanding that Marines (especially Drill Instructors) really really really hate pockets.

I did want this kilt to be a traditional, even though its made in a contemperary style, so to say (machine sewn).
I hardly put my hands in my pockets.. but that goes beyond the Marines... I was raised in a military home..my Dad retired from the Air Force, after 22 years..

Very nice. This is on my list of must haves. The review has convinced me that I will be ordering a kilt from these folks. Is it my imagination, or is there a large number of Marines on this site?

There is a fair number aboard, I imagine off hand I could count in the teens, just of the ones that stand out.
