Sinclair Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Sinclair.
A blue and white dress sett with black bands and green and red lines, The Register is unsure of its origins. It says the count apparently came from the files of D. C. Dalgliesh of Selkirk in 1998, and that it may be a dancers' fancy tartan rather than a true clan or family sett.

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