Swiss cheese, French Fries, French Cuffs, Chinese Checkers, Canadian Bacon, English Toffee, French Toast, Oxford shoes, Oxford Cloth shirts, it is too early in the morning to think of them all. Any label regulation that falls short of outlawing any use of Scotland or Scottish or Scotch ( Butterscotch, there's another one) is going to be exploited. If you say "It has to be made entirely in Scotland to be called Scottish" they will simply call it Scotsman's or Clanwear, or McThrifty. In the words of Sylvain Sylvain, I think, you can't put your arms around a memory. And you can't contain all forms of reference to Scotland, kilts, and authenticity in a label small enough to attach to an 8 yard garment.

And, as we have established above, even if you could, you'd never get an agreement as to what it should say. I came into possession of a tat kilt for time. As I recall, it had three buckles on leather straps. The pattern of the acrylic fabric was Royal Stewart, in what appeared to be the correct sett. A blind man could be excused for not recognizing the tartan, but he or anyone else could have told you that it was not the same garment that Jock Scott wears, nor the same product that Matt Newsome, Barb Tewksbury, Lady Christel, and many other fine craftspeople produce. Jersey Lawyer hit it pretty well on the head- quality is usually obvious.

The Champagne people are spending a lot of that profit they made back during the millenium madness on promoting their definition of "champagne". It may be working. But when I go to Arby's for my Bacon n Swiss, I expect it to come from somewhere in North America.
