Sinclair tartan
Clan tartan of Clan Sinclair.
The red Sinclair, with green and blue bands edged by black and white lines. The Register notes that this threadcount was recorded in the Lyon Court Books in June 1951 by the Earl of Caithness, chief of the Sinclairs. The Register's entry is dated 2002, but the count itself is older.

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” — 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.
