Cumming (second sett) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Cumming.
The Register calls this the accepted Cumming, as certified by W and A Smith in 1850. Smith's note says the pattern came from Sir William Gordon Cumming, then head of the family. It differs slightly from the version in the Vestiarium Scoticum.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Cumming (second sett)” — 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.
Wear the colours
Our own Cumming range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
