Sorry about that!

Many months ago, there was a discussion on here about what an authentic "traditional" kilt was. I got the information about the construction across, but was frustrated that I couldn't explain the difference better.

Suddenly, one sentence explained it all. The weight of a casual or light material kilt is nice, free-flowing and not noticeable on the waist. The authentic "traditional" will buckle-up, fit tight and feel like a "TANK" in comparison. They also take a beating like a "TANK". Cost wise, it was like comparing a Ford F-150 to a "TANK".

I'm sure someone could come-up with a nice way to use the T-A-N-K... but it was just a word of perspective that happened to catch on.
