Ebay warning: Pakistani outfit

[OC Richard]

This person (in the UK) is claiming to be selling a top-quality kilt and jacket, and has them listed for over 300 pounds.

I'm afraid somebody will be deceived, but let it not be a fellow X-Marker! Here's the listing

The kilt has the typical Pakistani "authentic woven tartan" label which of course is intentionally misleading. Why oh why doesn't the UK require to have the country of manufacture clearly labelled?



Most often I've seen this label saying "authentic woven tartan designed in Scotland" but for some reason this one has left the last half off.

I've not seen the matching jacket label before, I don't think, but there it is. If you look closely you'll see that the word "lining" is misspelt.



Anyhow this outfit is precisely the "cheep imitation" that the seller claims it isn't. You can get those kilts, new, for what, around 40 pounds?

Oh, I know that Ebay abounds with Pakistani stuff, but I think this warning is called for because the seller is specifically claiming the opposite.
