Menzies Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Menzies.
Recorded from W & A K Johnston in 1906. As with the main Menzies sett, this design has been woven in other colours over the years, but the version certified to the clan is black and red.

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