Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Cochrane Azure” — 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.
