However, in THIS instance, the seller in question IS the 'manufacturer' and is selling his product DIRECTLY to the people (as well as offering to wholesale them to companies like Keltoi and myself). If you, as an individual, wanted to purchase the jacket directly from him, he would sell it to you, using the picture AND description from another company's website. Is that misrepresentation?

I'm NOT SAYING that there aren't unscrupulous companies out there that sell 'authentic tartan kilts, designed in Scotland' and trying to pull the wool over the consumer's eyes... I'm simply pointing out that the unscrupulous nature goes further up the chain than just small mom and pop shops selling Pakistani kilts marketed as 'Scottish'.
