    I would find it similar to wearing another clans kilts or Riverkilt and C152T wearing the RAF kilt.... If your wearing it to honor the men who have served and are currently serving, then go for it!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Wear it with respect for the Corps and the sacrifice made by Marines and it will be appreciated.

    Beuth, I asked a very similar question regarding the wearing of the Black Watch tartan and received nothing but positive encouragement. I was told that as long as I am respecting and have knowledge of that tartan, I should wear it.
    There is no doubt of you not respecting the USMC, true you were not able to join their ranks, but that was not from a lack of trying on your part. In wearing this tartan you intend to honour; those who are currently serving, to those past and to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is nothing left to suggest that you should not wear this.
    Order this mon frere, perhaps the world needs to see a little bit more support for the Marines.

    Thanks! I really like the Leatherneck Tartan. I have a few ideas about the sporran. I'll have to think about it a little more.
