This makes it a viable and affordable option for so many of us. I highly doubt I'll ever own a 'tank' but I'll agree that it most certainly is, as Jay noted, in a class of it's own. I'm proud to now be a part of a fortunate and select group lucky enough to own one.
Grant,

We'll have to agree to disagree then. If the term Tank isn't even a technical term in the kiltmaking industry, then why are you so wedded to such a precise definition?

And, as I stated before, the box-pleated kilt's history & pedigree place in the realm of traditional, in my opinion.

T,
