This is a bad idea, and I doubt it would help anyway. People buy cheap kilts because they don't want to spend a fortune on a handmade wool kilt, when they just want something to wear in a bar or at a game. Controlling the label will not make people more accepting of the high price of the traditional kilt.


If it weren't for the cheap kilts these people seem to despise, I and many others wouldn't be kilted at all. I'd rather see cheap kilts for the masses than expensive luxury items most people can't reasonably afford.

And besides, is a kilt less of a kilt if it was sewn by someone in America or canada, or anywhere else in the world?

I say let the people choose for themselves.
