Jardine tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Jardine.
The Register records that the clan chief of the time approved this sett. A letter of 1979 quoted in the entry says he had earlier rejected Jardine tartans as trade inventions, then adopted this one after family pressure.

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