    As described on the X-Marks FAQ:
    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)

    Yes, it's really a pet name, more than anything else :P If you ask a kiltmaker for a tank, I doubt they know what you mean unless they are on this site :P

    Thanks gentlemen! Thank you for the link to the FAQ as well. I was searching for it earlier and for some reason I couldn't find it.

    Cheers
