A year ago I wouldn't have known just how wrong that is, and I don't blame people for being ignorant. However, I did educate myself before buying a kilt. Anyone who buys that thinking it is authentic has no one to blame but themselves, as it would only take a matter of minutes to find all the information you need.

On the other hand, for those who just want something cheap that looks enough like a kilt to get the job done, if they don't know about stillwater or others like them, this is decent enough for a cheap costume.

The people making and selling the kilt however are just full of $#!t. I mean, do they even know what kilt is supposed to look like? Would it cost them more to make a cheap acrylic kilt is more or less authentic in appearance?

But this is nothing new. There are countless hordes of shady characters waiting to sell cheap crap to anyone gullible enough to believe it's authentic. In fact if anything claims to be authentic, accurate, real, legitimate, or which is described in any way which is meant to claim something along those lines (in this case calling it a "scottish" "man's" kilt, instead of just a kilt) its pretty much guaranteed to be phony crap.
