    They are sewn up on the premises by some very talented kiltmakers, in fact Burnett's and Struth were for a long time the premier kiltmaker in Canada. They have sewn up kilts for many of the pipe bands here for years. I would think they are able to do it by sheer volume of orders.

    REalize too that that price is Canadian dollars, so subtract about 10% for US cost. you could also wait for when they have another 20% off sale and get one even cheaper.

    They are truly casual kilts in good quality heavyweight tartans, with significantly less tartan yardage and a definitely less robust build construction than standard 8 yard tanks. I have one in 16oz Weathered MacDonald that I wear and can definitely tell the difference in feel when I put it on. They do quality work and their turnaround time for in stock tartans is usually 3-4 weeks. Good customer service.

    Today the Canadian Dollar is at .91 if that helps you calculate the cost.

    You can ask for 3 or 2, it is made to measure.

    The tartan is 16oz. and they typically come with three buckles. I've ordered three casual kilts from them and they are very well made. These kilts are a great deal for what you get!
