What's A Tank?

**McMathTX** · 2nd January 08, 01:29 PM

Ok, I'm pretty new to the website, but I've seen the term "tank" several times now. I've gathered that the term is describing a kilt, but that's about all I've been able to glean. Is a tank a specific type of kilt? What's the story?

This explains a tank.
Everyone has that question at first

Unfortunately, they do. (See above referenced look.)

And, yes, you definitely want a tank. Other "lesser" kilts are fine, and I own a couple, but a tank is the real deal, and there's nothing like unto it.
