No, Jamie, that's not quite it. The press has focused on the kilt as a "traditional" garment for this reportage, but that's not what the kafafel is all about. Scottish kilt-makers are not concerned about the depth of pleats, pleating to the stripe (or not), or any of that stuff. That they resolve withb their customers. What they want ensured is that something that says "Scotland" on it was Scottish in origin. It doesn't matter if it is "traditional" or not. I know it was somebody else in this thread and not you who said to the contrary, but this is much more important to Scots than the Levi issue was to Americans; in that case nobody cared where the denim was made, only that the brand "Levi" was honoured. That was corporate ownership. This is national pride.
