Good point about the fabric weight. When the term "tank" was coined on this forum, I believe it only referred to a ~15-16 oz. wool tartan. Anything lighter than that would not be a tank, regardless of the yardage. At best, it would be a light armored kilt. IMHO, a "tank" must be 15-16 oz., and a "heavy tank" would be 18-20 oz. material.
