Another protectionist kilt article from "The Scotsman"

[Lallans]

You'd be surprised what makes "made in the USA" jeans actually "made the the USA." I believe, if the law hasn't changed, that the jeans are often largely made in Mexico or elsewhere, and the installation of the zipper (which is the step that makes them jeans) is done in the USA.

Perhaps my info is obsolete, but in my teens and 20s- and 30s too- it was USA all the way. What in fact killed the blue jean as a fashion staple was probably when designer brands came on the market. They were horrible but people felt they had to have them anyway- and then moved on. But this should never happen with kilts because the market is too knowledgeable.
