What's a wool Tank?

A 100% wool, tartan, handsewn kilt made to your measurements. Someone once remarked about his kilt, "It's built like a tank!" and a few of us here still use the phrase.

Tank= 8 yard, 16 oz, worsted wool, knife pleated kilt

SportKilts are very lightweight, non wool and designed with athletics in mind. I have one that was an intro to kilting and I wear it around the house and lounging on a Friday night with a movie. I would not wear it for a formal occassion.

This is it exactly. They're the same as wearing sweat pants with a suit. I appreciate the sentiment... but SportKilts are just not good for anything other than yard work!
