MacEwen (1880) tartan
Clan tartan of Clan MacEwen.
Taken from a woven sample in the 1880 Clans Originaux, this version alternates single and double black lines on the blue bands. The Register says its count was estimated from a poor photograph in 2004.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “MacEwen (1880)” — 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.

Our own MacEwen range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
