Jardine Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Jardine.
The Strathmore Woollen Company of Forfar produced this sett in 1991. The Register says the chief approved the red version as a dress tartan, and it was recorded in the Lyon Court Books that September.

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