You can pay through PayPal or credit card. - What is the Difference between a Casual Kilt and a Traditional Kilt?
The difference between a Traditional Kilt and a Casual Kilt is the amount of fabric used and how it is sewn. A Casual kilt is machine sewn with 4 or 5 yards of cloth. A traditional kilt uses 8 yards of cloth and is either 100% or 80% hand sewn. - Why do you wear flashes?
The purpose of flashes is to hold up your hose. They have elastic bands that tuck under the cuff of the kilt hose so you just see the fabric of them. These are a traditional part of Highland wear and offer a practical solution to a common problem of kilt hose falling down. - What advantage(s) does 16 ounce tartan have over the 10 oz tartan?
The 16 ounce tartan, when used in a kilt allows the kilt to have more crisp pleats, a better hang, and also more swing with the additional weight. The lighter 10 ounce is best for dancer's or people in hotter climates. It is also used in ladies skirts, ties and sashes. - What shoulder should a fly plaid be worn on? What shoulder should a ladie's sash be worn on?
A fly plaid should be worn on the left shoulder. A sash should be worn on the right shoulder. - What is the traditional way to welcome a new bride into the family?
The traditional way is to present her with a sash in your family (clan) tartan. - Do I have to pay Duty?
If you live in the United States you are responsible for paying duty on your order when it arrives, if applicable. We will not pay your duty for you. - When I pay with paypal why does it just say Burnett's & Struth Scottish Regalia and the total amount instead of what I am purchasing? Will I get a detailed invoice?
When paying with Paypal the total amount is forwarded to Paypal express checkout where you simply enter your information and the total amount is paid. An invoice with all your goods will be sent to your email address and also included within the shipment of your order. - I saw a product in store but do not see it online. Where is it?
We do not currently have all the products online but we are working hard to offer your the largest selection of Scottish goods on the web. Please contact us with the name of the product and a description using the contact us form. - What is the difference between Balmoral, Edinburgh and Casual Kilts?
Great question. The difference lies in how they are made, how much material and the cost. A Balmoral Kilt is the top of the line kilt completely hand sewn and uses 7-9 yards of material depending on your size. An Edinburgh is a mixture of hand sewn (Approx. 80%) and machine sewn and uses the same amount of material as a Balmoral. A Casual kilt uses 4-5 yards of material and is completely machine sewn. - Where is your measuring form for your kilts?
The measuring form is located on the kilt guidance drop down on the website menu. This form has all the measurements needed to make your kilt fits perfectly. If you have any questions feel free to contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
