Fabric & heritage

The Cameron sett is instantly recognizable—forest green crossed with scarlet red and bright white, woven in the proportions authorized by the Chief of Clan Cameron. This is the pattern worn at Culloden, carried across the world by Cameron regiments, and still chosen by Lochiel for formal occasions. Woven in Scotland, this 16 oz cloth holds crisp pleats through hours of dancing, marching, or celebrating. The bold tones photograph brilliantly and command attention across any crowded room. Dry clean only; store hanging to preserve pleat memory.

Why 8 yards?

The traditional Highlander kilt requires eight full yards of tartan—double the cloth of modern casual kilts. This creates deeper pleats, fuller swing, and the unmistakable silhouette that has defined Scottish formal wear for centuries. The bold Cameron sett, with its commanding green and striking red contrast, ensures you'll be recognized as a Cameron before you speak a word.
