Here's a link to the review of my casual kilt by B&S in the beautiful muted MacPherson tartan.

The cantle isn't my style but I wouldn't call someone a moron for designing it. The targe and cantle mix is growing on my. I have seen some nice Margret Morrison designed sporrans with this combination. To each his/her own.

I will agree that many black leather sporrans are dreadful. I am not fond of the Rob Roy style. Most look like someone wadded up a piece of leather and added a snap.

Finally, if you are wearing a tweed coat with a brown sporran make sure you have brown brogues on. I think brown sporran and black brogues is another faux pas.

I will try to remember to post some pics of my sporran.

1.) Margaret Morrison - Pierced celtic knot cantle, grey bovine fur with 3 chrome balls and leather and fur tassles

2.) L&M - Black leather with 3 tassles

Cheers.

Haven't bought anything from B&S, yet, but will do so shortly.

As for brown vs. black...just personal opinion, so don't get so uptight! Different strokes for different folks! I doubt anyone will be sent to hell just because they didn't wear a certain color sporran. El Diablo...be aware!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen of XMTS,

Just a gentle reminder that the original questions on this thread was

We would like to get all reviews of our products or service in one place for easy reference.

This is for discussion of Burnett & Struth's products. Please keep the discussion to that and not veer off topic with personal opinions which would be better posted in a more general forum.

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!

This is not really a review, but I just sold my B/S casual and got a great resale value on it. It was a good kilt.

I own two B&S casual kilts - a Modern Royal Stewart and a Maple Leaf Tartan. Both are 16oz and I'm extremely pleased with both of them. The fit and finish is very good, especially given the price. In my opinion, the B&S casuals represent great value.

Sir William and I met at the Fredericksburg Pub to celebrate the upcoming St. Andrew's Day. We both wore our new Burnett's & Struth casual kilts. Bill's tartan is Gunn modern and mine is Malcolm modern. These machine made kilts are an excellent value.

Since this post I've been giving the B&S a real workout and appreciate it more and more.
