Playing Devil's advocate, but perhaps the person reading it thought you were asking identity and not nation or origin, and keeping your vendors list secret is a handy thing...
I'll agree. From Stillwater, we have come to expect swift, professional, and accurate replies to our questions. The only way I can envision a tone that would make you think "rude" is if Jerry thought you actually were fishing for his proprietary information.
Plus the service is second to none. The Web site lists only what they have in stock, so US customers can expect to get the order within days.
I have bought at least one of each model Stillwater, including the economy. All are good value for money. All are clearly labelled with the country of origin.
The acrylic models are attractive, pretty nice fabric. The wool kilts are just fine: I love them this time of year. There are other, more expensive fabrics that I like better, and there are made-to-measure, more expensive kilts that fit me better; but I have been satisfied with every transaction from Stillwater. BTW no one paid me to say this, it sounds like I'm laying it on a little thick; but that is the way Stillwater's repeat customers tend to sound.

In my opinion,I would save a few more bucks and get at least a Standard From Stillwater.
I bought a Thrifty once,and I have three Standards,and there is no comparison between the two.
To look at how a standard is made you would think it would cost a lot more than about 80 bucks.
Not putting down the Thrifty,because im sure Jerry sells a lot of them,but the one I have-Ive had it on one time.

If I was asking that, I would have said something like, "What company makes your kilts?" But I said, "Where are these kilts made?" I know I wasn't expecting them to be made in Scotland at those prices, but they could have either been made-to-order or Made in China, etc. At least now I know that they are made in Pakistan.

That is my experience also.
