Seton Hunting tartan
Hunting tartan of Clan Seton.
The Register says this sett is said to be based on the Vestiarium Scoticum, with samples in the Johnston collection and an Ingles Buchan weaving of 1975. It credits information from James Cant, a tartan authority around 1930.

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