New Stillwater Kilt Tartan Announced!

Duh,

Thanks Yaish, missed that completely.

I remain, enamored of the Leatherneck tartan in wool, regardless of who sews it up...but since this is a Stillwater thread...suggest checking swatches, if possible, to compare the look of the Leatherneck tartan in the various fabrics Stillwater offers before making a final decision.

MARINE now IRR! i posted this before Gordon asked had anyone asked a marine

i dont care where it comes from.....

its not where it was made....
or the place the material came from

its how you wear it! and why you are wearing it

you are honoring marines by wearing "their tartan"
i have noticed alot of kilt makers downplaying pakistani kilts
and i got one from scotland that was made worse than the **** kilts

i appreciate stillwater their prices and delivery time

you know what stillwater has other tartans that honor other families..
wheres the complaint there?

this thread is about the new line of kilts from still water! not manufacting or production

i as a marine will be proud to wear my USMC tartan kilt everywhere i go
i have earned that title
i dont care if its my kilt from alexis malcolm or the 4 stillwaters (2 of which in a heavier wool) i am going to get for the price of the one you know what though its the MARINE CORPS OOOOHHhhhhh RAAAAAhhhhh

Was just asking Kathy Lare about a Leatherneck tartan hand sewn kilt.

She says its the most popular kilt she sews up. Says she's sewn three of them just the past couple months. She's from a Marine family and loves to do it.

Point is, more proof its a popular tartan for those considering marketing it.

Nicely said. Kilts are made to be worn proudly, every kilt I own I wear with pride.

OK, this thread appears to now be on its last leg.

I really don't understand why so many of you expect and demand tolerance from others, but can be so unbending, yourselves. Maybe we need a big announcement on the portal that reminds everyone to check their attitude at the door?

If you see a post that you feel is offensive to you, then point out what you believe to be offensive about the post and NOT the author.

The forum staff has no problem with you forming opinions of others, but from here on out, we expect you to keep the negative opinions and observations to yourselves. Or suffer the consequences.

Are these concepts so difficult to understand? If you discover you are struggling with it, drop me a Private Message and we will get it sorted for you.

First of all I can't say enough good about Jerry and his kilts. If it weren't Stillwater I would maybe only have two or three (at the most) kilts in my closet instead of 10.

I hope (actually beg) that this thread does NOT get locked down as the posts have helped me to make my decision of should I purchase one or not.

That dilema being that I have no ties to the USMC directly and while I find the tartan to be very attractive, would I feel right wearing it?

Thanks to all here the answer is a resounding YES! I would be honored to wear the tartan of any branch of our service out of respect for the sacrifices they made ensuring the freedoms I enjoy.

God bless the marines, God bless Stillwater, God bless X-marks and God bless America!
