And by the way, someone mentioned an aversion to tartans. Definitely not. Just wanted to try a lower cost plain one first to see if this might stick (also couldn't find the clan tartan, Keith, in a lower cost fabric.)

Don't worry, everyone asks that question.

From the FAQ section:

http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...q#faq_faq_abbr

"A 'TANK' is defined as an eight-yard, wool, hand-sewn, traditional kilt. ie., "It's built like a tank." (coined by Jimmy Carbomb c.2005)"

Wrightsville is between York (where they make Harleys) and Lancaster (home of the Amish) on the Susquehanna River. Also, between Harrisburg to the north and Baltimore to the south.
