jarhead kilt, kinda formal ?

[David Dalglish]

Looks good. Gotta disagree with thescot. Colored socks look too informal.

Get that new sporran and you're all set.

I agree about the socks

mr. scot, as requested,



found these in an old box, haden't looked at them in close to 40 years. sent them to medals of america for remounting, they did a wonderfull job.



got the caubeen from glengarry hats, the eagle, globe and anchor from soldier city. its pewter, about 1 1/2 inches, costs about $9.00, such a deal.

Looking good! I second McMurdo's recommendation on the sporran and I think the light hose work well with the outfit.

Unless USMC formal functions are significaantly more rowdy the other formal functions I don't think you will need the rapier. Though if you insist on wearing it I hope you have a suitable main gauche as well.

they do tend to be a bit rowdier than most, but for us old timers, things are a bit tamer than in our impetuous youth.

And, I think that a mamaluke sword may be in order for this particular Marine. Am I correct, McVarmit?

You may already be aware of Don, but he does some very nice USMC items

I have the kilt pin shown on his web site but I was fortunate enough to get it in pewter instead of the gold. You might contact him and inquire if he has others or could get them.
Last I heard, the one I got was a sample from the forge that had been laying around. If demand is there he might be willing to produce more of them.
