Kilt Review: R-Kilts Hemp Kilt, Black w/ Brass Hardware

[Clockwork]

Not at all my friend I was actually the one trying to compare this to a tank. Not in a way of 'which is superior/inferior', because as you said they are two different animals and really can't be fairly compared without taking personal preferences into account. Rather, I was trying to describe its characteristics in a way that someone familiar with tank might more readily relate to. But then again, I haven't handled a tank nor wore one before, so my comparisons are based solely on how I've seen them behave while other people wear them, and the reviews/descriptions provided on this site and elsewhere. Subsequently, my understanding of the characteristics of a tank may be wildly incorrect.

I agree about the weight too; there's just something about a weighty kilt that makes it feel 'right'. I don't know if the 7 yards is a baseline with Robert's kilts or if that's what was used on mine specifically (I have a very lean build). That's something he'll be able to answer.

Cheers,

Of course another advantage of the weight, even in standard hemp depends on your mode of commuting. I use a Segway to get back and forth to work each day, 6 miles on city streets. Every Friday I am kilted and my Rkilts fare better in a breeze. :-) I also can get a nice swish while gliding..
