Quality of a Tank vs other kilts

[Tattoo Bradley]

Ok, so I've got some thoughts here. I agree with Dave that a lot of it is folks worrying about it getting dirty. The other part of it, not yet menitioned, is that a lot of folks feel an 8 yard kilt is too formal or "nice" for every day wear. I have an 8 yard kilt ("tank") and I wear it just like anything else: whenever/wherever I'd wear any other kilt.

I would like to plug Matt Newsome's 4 yard box pleated kilts here. I can't help it. I'm just THAT much of a fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to steer you from Kathy Lare (she's great btw, a real class act.) I'd just like to show you the other "real kilt" option. Scottish wool, but low yardage and box pleated. This makes these kilts the most versatile, IMO.

I wear my tank just about anytime I go out in a kilt. I have a couple of lower yardage, lighter weight casual tartan kilts, a USA semi traditional, and several Stillwaters, but compared to the tank, the others are almost like wearing(dare I say it) skirts. The kilt I wear most though is an old Sportkilt. I wear that one every day around the house and working in the yard. I wouldn't crawl under my house to work on the satellite cables or my home computer networking cables in my tank, but I have in my Sportkilt. It's not that I don't think the tank would stand up to such use, but I have way too much respect for a fine hand sewn garment to treat it that way.
