The tartans represented here have been scanned from actual cloth scarves. If you are considering the purchase of an expensive item such as a kilt it would be best to order a swatch of the tartan in the actual weight and cloth from which your kilt will be made to get the best idea of what the final product will look like.
Modern colors are strong, vivid colors made possible by today's chemical dyes.
Ancient or old colors duplicate the shades produced by weavers in the old days when dyes were made from vegetables, herbs and berries. Weathered colors or reproduction colors or muted colors approximate the appearance of tartan cloth dyed with the old organic dyes and then faded by years of highland weather. We welcome your inquiries about our products.
