Matheson Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Matheson.
The Register gives this as the Matheson Hunting sett, taken from W & A K Johnston in 1906. It uses blue and black in place of the red and blue of the dress tartan.

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