    as you requested: $50 Ebay tank review

    As for the "upgrades" I suggest in the above review, I believe O'Neille maybe able to take care of them. I'm sending both of my Ebay tanks to him for the upgrades. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

    How well have those kilts held up?

    before I respond, I'll let it be known that the two ebay tanks I own have taken up position as my default kilts. I've gone and done just about anything that can be done in a kilt in these. There is a strong possiblity that I will try to contact the seller and get a batch made in MacTavish(Thompson Red). If Anyone else would want a MacTavish (Thompson Red) ebay tank, let me know!
    (and to the answer)...

    As I indicated in the reviews, the sewing is a bit lacking. I am sending them to O'Neille to be re-stitched. Everything else about it is great. The fabric is almost bulletproof ( definitly english-proof!) and the pleats are still to this day straight and true, and I haven't pressed them in three months. Overall, I am extremely happy with the kilt. Even with the stiching coming out of the fell, once a belt is put on, there is no visible distinction between the sewn pleats and the one or two that have come undone.

    I would definitly suggest that anyone looking for a great knock-around kilt, and even one that would be acceptable ( provided it is clean) to be worn with a PC or Argyle Jacket, pick up one of these.
