Quality of a Tank vs other kilts

[Riverkilt]

Welcome Andrew,

I'm another Kathy Lare junkie. I have TEN of her hand sewn wool kilts. And they are "tanks"

Last year was at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, sitting behind the wheel of my car munching breakfast (fool!!) and spilled my orange juice in my lap which was at the time covered with my Isle of Skye tartan tank.

But wool is amazing stuff. The juice just sort of puddled on top of the very outer wool fibers rather than soak in. I was able to sop the juice up with napkins before it soaked in. When we got back to the motel I feared I'd have to find some Woolite etc but there was no sign of the juice spill. I'm not talking a few splattered drops here...I spilled it and it was a fist size puddle.

So, them tanks ain't so fragile.
