Home tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Home.
The Register says Clan Originaux was a Paris swatch book of about 1880, used by J. Claude et Fils to sell designs made in Alsace. It adds that this Home sett is the one usually worn by the clan today. As a record, it dates from the 19th century.

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