Maxwell Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Maxwell.
A twentieth-century hunting version of the main Maxwell sett, swapping the balance of red and green for a darker, more muted effect that suits outdoor wear. It was developed in 1981 by Scotty Maxwell, founding president of the Clan Maxwell Society in the United States.

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