Anyone have a Burnetts & Struth casual?

[gilmore]

Burnetts & Struth is advertising a sale on their casual kilts. They have tartans in both 13 and 16 oz wool, but in communication say that they generally use only 2 meters double width (i.e., about 4 meters single width) on most of them, and that they must have knife pleats rather than box pleats.

Does anyone have one of these---or other's---16 oz wool kilt with knife pleats yet only about 4 meters of material? Is this satisfactory? I am guessing it would hang more like a schoolgirls' skirt than a kilt.

I don't own one but I've tried them on before and they're quite nice and good value.

I've got one in Dress MacDonald, they are very well made I would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable option

Here is my review

Their casual kilts are made by the same folks we use. Very good quality for casual kilts. I used to own one in 13 oz and was very happy with it. I think 16 oz does even better. Just avoid the 10 oz, as the fabric really doesn't have the body for a four yard kilt.

Here is a pic of the one I use to own:

Matt I'm not so sure about that, they have kiltmakers on-site now, I've been up there and seen them working on different projects.

Yup. Some of them may have been destined for the STM. :-)

Purchased a 16 oz Lochcarron MacDonnel from them and am very pleased. Well made and hangs well. Service was fast at about two weeks. It looks like they have their own kilt making capability on site.

I guess I know where my next kilt is coming from. Thanks to all for the reviews.

I stopped in at their store on the way up to the cottage and purchased a 16 oz Royal Stewart. I've wanted one of these for a while as my wife is a Carmichael.

I purchased one of their sale casuals not too long ago, a Malcom Modern.





For the money it's a great purchase. Obviously the pleats are less deep and less in number than with an 8 yarder, but it's a fine kilt nonetheless.
