Interest in kilts/Scottish things, should benefit Scotland, and UK

[RockyR]

I wonder if the "final trim" thing has to do with import/export taxing. Several kilt makers don't pick out the fringe on kilts shipped to the US, leaving it to the buyer to do as the tax rate is much higher on a finished garment than an unfinished one.

That thing about not pulling out the fringe has to do (to my understanding... which is reasonably informed in this area) with the tax rules on "garments with embelishments" (and the fringe on a kilt would put it in that category) vs an unfinished garment.
