Home or Hume (Vestiarium) tartan
Other sett of Clan Home.
The Register dates this to the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842, a 19th-century source whose tartans are not backed by earlier evidence. It says the sett follows the same scheme as the Grey Douglas, though in different colours.

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 “Home or Hume (Vestiarium)” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
