What would you do?

Late to the party, I hit the "aye" button a few times coming through.

I only have one thing to add. I am not the only person here who experienced being a "have not" while working my way up to being a "have."

Now that I have a made in Scotland tank, I get it, value trumps price for me BUT - I also ordered a synthetic knife pleat in a universal tartan because wearing a kilt is so dang awesome. I don't even know which of the two synthetics mine is made from. If I am BBQing on the back deck or laying around the living room floor watching a movie with my wife that synthetic kilt is a nice option. In warm weather I wear it a lot, and don't have to worry about wrinkling it or spilling a bit of beer on it.

I think the rabble is very respectful of people who have a synthetic as their good kilt because that is what they can afford. I raised the issue for a different reason. Coming back around to the ethical side of it, if someone is making or selling inexpensive synthetic kilts, but going about it honestly and ethically, I think they should be welcome here. Or at least given a chance. We who own wool tanks know perfectly well synthetics aren't "just as good as", but they do have a star in the constellation.
