I discovered this site while checking on the Leatherneck Tartan. I am the Bob Hall who started the project, and designed the Leatherneck Tartan, with input from Rory MacLeod of the STS. The writer who said I had not made a dime off it is correct--but I have spent quite a few on the project. I put the project in hand to give Marines and Marine supporters a way to honor the Corps at Scottish functions.

I have absolutely no objection to family members and friends of Marines wearing the tartan to honor them. I would object if a wannabe was holding himself out as a Marine and had never served.

The tartan is also open to Navy personnel, such as our beloved Corpsmen, who served with Marines.
