    some definitions if you please

    Hey guys,
    Out of curiosity...
    I have seen the phrases of Tank, MOD, and mocker tossed around on the forums. Would someone be so kind as to define these phrases please?
    I take it a tank is a good, solid havyweight (16oz or heavier?) kilt... I am guessing a regimental 18oz fabric would classify as a tank... but MOD, and mocker?

    This may be of some help

    Mocker refers to a style of Utilikilt http://216.69.130.253/store/index.php?cPath=13
    MOD could be Ministry of Defence or Moderator of this forum (Amounts to the same thing really :rolleyes: )

    MOD = Ministry of Defense makes complete sense, since the thread I was reading was regarding surplus military kilts. Thanks! Tank was sort of explanatory, although I would argue that the phrase could be applied to any well made heavyweight wool kilt...of course that's my own interpretation. Wool should be very hard wearing though, and last quite some time.

    Thanks guys!

    rocker all the way...cafe bikes and rockabilly.

    Ha! Good times.
