Customer Comments
 Let me say first and foremost, I am more than happy with my order. The quality of the jacket, vest and sporran exceeded my expectations particularly considering the price by comparison to what is charged for a lesser quality product here in The States. I will have no hesitation in recommending your company to all who are sure to ask where I obtained my outfit.

Culloden

 
Culloden

$244.02
Sale: $219.62

 

The Culloden (straight-lasted): hand made by the top museum shoemaker in The British Isles.

This is an accurate replica of the shoe worn in the early-to-mid 18th century. In fact, judging by the booty taken after the Battle of Culloden in 1746 it is typcial of those worn at that battle (by those who did wear shoes, beause many will have gone into battle barefoot and others would have worn the more rudmentary highland brog we describe above).

There were many different variations of round toes, square toes, slightly raised heels, flat heels, long tongued, shorter tongued and so on. Some shoes had the leather smoothside out whilst it was perhaps more common to see the leather with the suede, or fleshside, out. All shoes were straightlasted in those days. There was no left and no right shoe.

They were made out of almost any animal skin that was both suitable and readily available. The Culloden is made from bovine (suede) and is straightlasted but surprisingly comfortable. Two concessions have been made to modern times: instead of linen a synthetic thread is used and there is a cushion under the heel. We can, however, make to order without these modern features.

Sizes available:
UK: 6 to 12
US: 7 to 13
Half sizes are not available

We illustrate with buckle, but this shoe is supplied without buckle. You may use your own buckles or make a choice from our range.
