Anyone have a Burnetts & Struth casual?

I have a Burnett's & Struth casual in Strome (16 oz.) and I am very happy with it. It is machine-sewn, as one should expect at the price, and it is very well done. The only other all-wool kilt I have is a What Price Glory Gordon Highlander reproduction. Comparing the two, the WPG has heavier material and the B&S has much higher quality material and workmanship.

I strongly recommend the B&S.

Edit 20080717 (I finally learned how to post a photo!):

Here's Frank McGrath's photo of the rabble at The Royal Mile in Wheaton last July 5th. I'm the Santa-Claus-configured fellow on the extreme right. My kilt is my B&S ancient Farquarson.

I have one of these as well. I quite like it, and would give it my recommendation at the price.

I have one in 16 oz. Lochcarron, and it is excellent value at the sale price. It's a substantial kilt and it hangs well. I think you can see on Chrissss's kilt (Chris, correct me if I'm wrong), and mine is the same, that the front apron has no taper; that's my only reservation. I really like mine and get a lot of use out of it.

True...but I thought that might be because I have no taper (40" waist, 41" hip).

Ah ok I misunderstood you, they did do a bang up job both on the Dress MacDonald for me and the MacPherson Red Jacket for my Aunt.

100% satisfied with my 16oz British Columbia from them. Delivery was only 2 weeks, even during the busy Christmas season.

I too have a Burnetts & Struth casual kilt in Lochcarron 16 oz MacInnis Hunting Ancient, and it's seen some hard use while I have hiked and worked on my land. It's holding up fine. Great value.
