Barclay Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Barclay.
The Register says this is based on the earlier hunting sett from the 1842 Vestiarium Scoticum, and is the version most often linked with the name. Its thread count comes from Johnston's The Tartans of the Clans and Septs of Scotland.
Thread count

Shades follow the Register's palette for this entry. Woven cloth varies by mill and by colourway.
Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Barclay Dress” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
We are choosing retailers we trust and will list them here soon.

Our own Barclay range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
