Went back over our last thread about SportKilt but thought this was different enough for a new thread. There was one comment on the old thread about their SportKilt looking good.

Saw a Marine Corps Tartan SportKilt at the Flagstaff Highland Games last weekend. Instead of being gathered around the waist like my two SportKilts this had a band around the waist with creased pleats coming down from it. Looked more like a kilt and less like a skirt in back.

The guy wearing it said he didn't pay the extra for sewn down pleats, it just came that way.

Anyone know if there's been a change. That waist band instead of gather and the creased pleats made it look a lot better than the old gathered waist versions of SportKilt.

Interestingly, I took my Macdonald tartan SportKilt for my lady to wear at the games. She declined and bought herself a UK olive original instead.

And, before the games were over they young man in the Marine tartan SportKilt was wearing a new Utilikilt.

Also noticed the fabric in the SportKilt Marine Corps tartan was MUCH lighter than the swatch they sent me with my earlier orders, also much lighter than the wool Marine Corps tartans you see. Guessing they changed vendors for that tartan.

Anyway. I was impressed with the new look. Anyone know any more??
