Some Days I'm Just Proud To Be Kilted

Semper Fi,

Today I'm out and about in my Strathmore Leatherneck tartan kilt hand sewn by Kathy Lare. With MA-1 jacket patched up in honor of my late little brother's USMC service, black shirt, Stillwater leather Nightstalker sporran, Black Lewis kilt hose, red traditional garter ties, Z Coils, and KaBar replica sgian dubh.

Anyhow, I noticed I just feel proud around town and at work dressed this way. Part USMC, part my little brother's memory, part a sharp looking tartan kilt...

It just feels really really good today.

Lookin' sharp, Ron! I feel that way too in the Army tartan casual from USAK.

Looking great Ron! And it sure is something when a guy can wear something that has meaning to him. Very cool!

Hey, man, you look pretty good. That Leatherneck tartan looks real good.

Great photo Ron, and you have every reason to be proud.

Very good Ron - I really respect the way you have placed "Rest in peace" across the chevrons. You make the memory of your brother proud. I wish more people would find ways to remember our fallen servicemen.

Thanks.

That's only just. It should feel really really good because it looks really really good.

Hey Ron - you forgot to mention that great looking kilt pin!!!

Did you know that the design for the kilt pin comes from the design etched on the Marine Non Commissioned Officers sword?

Looks great!
