True, Matt's kilts are every bit as well built (and perhaps more so) as any 8yd. kilt out there. But I consider a big part calling a kilt a tank to be the hefty weight. A Newsome kilt uses about half the yardage in material and weighs considerably less than an 8yd. kilt. Therefore, I don;t consider it a tank. I actually prefer the lighter weight of my Newsome kilt to my 8yd. as far as wearing it goes.
So, let's see, a Newsome box pleat would be an "armored car"??
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
