    Notice the rest of that tag...

    "DESIGNED in Scotland
    Authentic Woven tartan"

    And the other tag:

    "100% Acrylic / wool"

    That's a Pakistani "Gold Brothers Special". That's the "tartan Tat" that is on the Royal Mile.

    "100% Acrylic Wool"???? Does that come from acrylic sheep? Is that an endangered breed from the Shetlands, perhaps?

    Or is this like saying "genuine imitation crab meat" (made from real imitation crabs)?

    I have seen sheep shearing competitions but they have always produced wool!

    Even if the label meant to read that it was a mixture of acrylic and wool it would still be wrong as neither would then be 100%...

    100% Acrylic Wool of course comes from rare breed of 100% Acrylic Sheep.......?

    I don't know what the idea of putting the word “wool” in does other than for deception!

    Jerry at SWK sells acrylic, but he never, but never says that they are wool. His low-end kilts are very useful for low-end kilt wearing.
