Back to reference of the original sporan with the broad cantle-I'd like to chime in. THis style of Cantle that has a broad leaf that extends down over the panel is best suited for a hair sporran. There are technical reasons for this that would be long and drawn out, but if one is using a pelt with hair instead of actual long hair, then the cantle should be nice and tight against the panel and not protrude downward too far (If the sporran has a flap, whole other story). ANyway, if I were to have this cantle, I'd take dark gray horsehair, I'd take silver bouillon tassels and make a levee sporran that would be the toast of the town!

I am frequently in your shop, and remember talking to you at the Fergus Highland Games about the "Built Kilt." I have been to many tartan shops in my time and I must say the staff at Burnett's and Struth have always made me feel welcome. I first visited your store when my Aunt was looking for a jacket to be made for her in the MacPherson tartan, as her husband my Uncle who was a MacPherson recently passed away. The Jacket was perfect and fit wonderfully even when we went back up for the primary fitting. Burnett's and Struth will always have my gratitude for the kindness shown my Aunt. I then chose to purchase a casual kilt from Burnetts and Struth in the Dress MacDonald Tartan in honour of my Uncle as one side of his family was MacDonald the other MacPherson. The kilt I purchased was hanging in the shop the day I went up with my Aunt and it was in my size. I went back up another day and got it for myself. Here is the review.

I have taken many visitors to Toronto up to Burnett's and Struth as I find the general demeanor of the staff is simply worth the drive. I have purchased many other items in the following years, and have bought several gifts as well. I wish you all the best with your business and I will certainly be returning.

Well, I've ordered today a second B&S Casual in Ancient MacCallum. Can't have enough clan tartan kilts for the upcoming Scottish Games season!

Thank you for your kind words and for bringing new people into our store. We always love meeting new people and seeing old friends again.

It was a pleasure meeting you at Fergus last year and I am sure we will see you again this year.

B&S made a 16 oz. Black Watch kilt for me about ten years ago, and it's the finest kilt I've ever owned in more than 40 years of kilt wearing. The tailoring is exquisite and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. I highly recommend B&S to anyone in the market for a true quality kilt.

Very Happy to hear you are so pleased with your kilt and thank you for your kind words
