This question has been posted before, I had the same question regarding Black Watch. The answer is the same; go ahead and wear it. Wear it with pride, wear it with honour. Honour of those who have served. Perhaps it's fate that you ask now, for if you click here you can own a genuine Matt Newsome 4 yard box pleat Leatherneck and an excellent price. Others will post to tell you to go ahead and wear it, they will be better able to give you the history and why you can wear it, but in the meantime be sure to not let that boxpleat slip away .
