    Tank?

    I've been hunting, and haven't been able to locate a definition anywhere for "tank" as used in the forums.

    It's not on the FAQ as a standard abbreviation, and the search engine returns an awful lot of hits.

    So... what, exactly, are people referring to as a "tank?"

    My impression is that it's an 8 yard, 16 oz, traditional wool kilt.

    BINGO!!!

    Also include handsewn.

    Someone coined the term as saying this kind of kilt was built like a tank, i.e. built to last.

    Here's one of the original (I think) threads.

    Thank you very much. If I'd managed to refine my search a bit, I probably would have found that.

    Might be a good entry for the FAQ.

    Yes, it can. Any questions, just ask. I am sure someone will have plenty to say on the topic.
