I bought one of those once, and returned it immediately.

In photos they resemble traditional military kilts but in person don't resemble them in any way.

First, they're crudely made on the Indian Subcontinent.

Second, the fabric doesn't resemble actual UK kilting cloth in the slightest. Even 9 or 10 ounce UK-woven wool has more substance. The fabric has a thin flimsy feel, like those plaid shirts from India. Somehow they've found a way to make thicker fabric equally flimsy.

Oddest of all is the fabric's waxy feel, I can't think of another way to put it into words.

Thing is, in my younger and far slimmer days I owned a couple actual military kilts, and over the years have examined a hundred or so others, so I'm quite familiar with their fabric and construction.

Also several years ago I had House of Edgar make me a military-spec kilt from their MOD weight cloth, which was very close to the vintage military kilts I'd worn.
