But this is a kilts forum and therefore discussion on the labels is pertinent regarding the labelling of kilts.

Those of us "in the know" can read through the foggy wording but Joe Tourist isn't getting the full information including, as you yourself have pointed out, fibre content and care instructions.
Couldn't agree more. But does this mean that if a company put their trade label in the kilts they sold all of this would go away?

IE:

KrapeeKilts, Ltd.
The Royal Mile
Edinburgh
SCOTLAND

Or, as I am beginning to suspect, would the complaints come thick and fast because the labeling might lead some dull-witted tourist to believe that his "Krapee Kilt" is a 100% Scottish product?

I guess what I'm asking is this: What's the real reason for all this Gold Brothers bashing? Crappy products? Crappy products made in Pakistan? Crappy products made in Pakistan foisted on an unsuspecting public as having originated in Scotland? Or is it down to the fact that the Gold Brothers, who are shrewd businessmen, have seen a market, have moved in aggressively, and are resented by some Scots who don't like the fact that some non-ethnic Scots have bested them at their own game?

Perhaps, after nearly 100 posts, someone can give me the definitive answer.
