MacIver (third sett) tartan

Clan tartan of Clan MacIver.

The Register says this sett is derived from the Lord of the Isles tartan and is the same as MacFie. It also records that Kith and Kin lists MacIvers in Argyll linked with Campbell, in Ross and Lewis with MacKenzie, and in Perthshire with Robertson.

Thread count

CW/4 R24 K6 R6 K32 R6 K6 R24 YT/4

Each letter is a colour and each number a count of threads. The slashes mark the pivots: the pattern runs to the end, then reverses back on itself.

Colours

  • CW — Clear
  • R — Red
  • K — Black
  • YT — Tan Yellow

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 “MacIver (third sett)” — 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 MacIver range is on its way: the name, the tartan and the motto on a heavyweight tee, a hoodie and a mug. About the shop.
