A lot of stuff out of Pakistan. I had an inquiry recently about a brogued sporran and could not understand their return email. English was too fractured. Took a bit to figure out their reply.
"Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thaining thu"
Remember the men from whom you are descended.
I think it depends on what retailer you're actually visiting. A web search reveals "Kilts AND More" based in Germany, which appears genuine.
However, there's also "Kilt (singular) and More," which claims to be based in Seattle, but sells "8 yards kilts" for $70, including the following tartans:
"Black Strewart Tartan"
"Grey Watch" tartan
"Mecdonald" tartan
"Red Wallece" tartan
Of course, it's never said what fabric is used, where it originates, or where the garments are sewn. I suspect it's probably near the BOTTOM of the Pakistani heap.
Just the title would make me hesitant, something a non-English speaker would come up with.
We have a little clothing shop here owned by non-English speakers that's called "Julia's Fashion".
Remember the TV commercial years ago, a shop called "Jim's Rug" and inside there's just one rug? They ask Jim something like "what would happen to your business if you sold that rug?"
If "Kilt and More" sold their kilt, what would they do? Change the name to "More"?
