Why the negativity? It says right there in the ad it's celebrating Scottish artisanship. Additionally, you must have missed the fact it's not only real acrylic wool,
they went whole hog and used the 16 oz. acrylic wool instead of mere 10 or 11 oz.

The point is that this is not Scottish artisanship.

My point precisely. That claim is as real as acrylic wool. The entire post was intended as sarcasm. My apologies for lack of clarity.

I do wonder what on earth "acrylic wool" is.

Probably a polyester/wool blend.

Being in the USA, which has precise and strict labelling laws for clothing, it amazes me how vast quantities of Pakistani kilts sneak into the country without labels or with improper labels.

Fiber content:

Labels must list the generic names and percentages by weight of the fibers in the product, in descending order. For example, "65% viscose, 35% polyester". Fibers that make up 5% or more of the total weight must be listed, and anything less than 5% can be listed as "other fibers". If a garment is made of only one fabric, like cotton, you can use the phrase "All cotton" instead of "100% cotton".

Country of origin:

Labels must state where the product was manufactured or processed.

Manufacturer or marketer:

Labels must include the name of the manufacturer or another business responsible for marketing or handling the product.

Attachment:

Labels must be attached to the item at the time of sale.
