    The Pinnacle of Kilting

    I gotta say, Jimmy Carbomb and all the rest of you who told me so, there is just plain NOTHING to compare with wearing a 16 ounce hand sewn traditional tank.

    My circuits were overloaded with joy. The kilt swish reminds me of a confident cat on the prowl.

    I sat on the pleats for three hours with no effect to the hang of the kilt.

    The wind blew, and even backing up to the edge of the Grand Canyon on a windy day the kilt protected my modesty.

    And, I stood taller knowing I was wearing my clan colors, not just by name, but from knowing my grandfathers back to 1700s and where they lived.

    The joy, pride, and confidence I feel in this new "top of the line" from Kathy Lare in no way diminishes the positive feelings I have wearing my other kilts....this new tank is just so far superior in every way...even to the lighter weight tank she sewed for me....dang....I wanna wear it ALL the time...and God help me...I WANT MORE!!

    And I will have more. She's gonna sew up my X Mark tartan kilt for me.

    Just gotta say, "You guys were right!" Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    The joy of a "tank" cannot be explained but Ron you did a great job. The wearing of the "tank" has to be experienced!
