    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)
    And yes - By general consensus of the rabble, a tank is made of at least 16 oz wool.

    Well, did a little math. Of those that responded with an actual number, 48 response's, 654 kilts, for an average 13.625 kilts per respondee. I am now going to inform my wife that I am below average and need to get more kilts!

    As you can see from the Normal plot, the data is not normal

    i have two kilts, one is a Lockhart modern tank, made by Matt Newsome, and the other is Graham of Mentieth, which I'm trying to sell. I'm also trying to scrounge up the funding for a 4-yard Carolina box, and then will need one in a tartan I'm designing, and I think that will be enough.
    I know when to walk away.
