I guess only Jimmy can tell us what it truly means. I always took it to mean a traditional 8+yd. tartan kilt of heavy 16-24 oz. wool with luxuriously deep pleats. I guess hand-sewing would be a plus in my book, but not absolutely necessary. I have a machine sewn tartan tank and is has such a wonderful swing and balance.. it puts all of my twill and lightweight sport kilts to shame.

If machine sewing excludes it from tankdome, then I'll call it a Hummer!
