who makes these kilts

[Steve Ashton]

This green and yellow or green and white label or tag is an almost dead give-away that the product was made in Pakistan of Pakistani fabric. Although it may be labeled as Poly-Viscose or PV it is almost always an Acrylic or Acrylic blend fabric. On this tag the fabric is listed as 100% Acrylic Wool.





Long time members of X Marks may remember the controversy around the company "Heritage of Scotland". While the owners are born and raised in Scotland and the companies under their "Gold Bros." umbrella are 100% Scottish, the products they sell often have no "country of origin" or location of manufacture anywhere.
The top tag I show says "Authentic Woven Tartan". It also says "Designed in Scotland". Long time members may remember the law suit over the Copyright protected "Isle of Skye" design when a similar design with the same name was woven in Pakistan and sold world-wide. In the end the name was simply changed to "Bright Skye".
