Fabric & heritage

The Crawford sett is distinguished by its deep red-maron base crossed with forest green and bright white lines—creating one of the most elegant patterns in the Scottish tartan registry. Clan Crawford traces its lineage to the ancient barony of Crawford in South Lanarkshire, with branches spreading across Ayrshire and Renfrewshire. The family produced notable figures including William Crawford, who fought alongside William Wallace, and Colonel William Crawford of the American frontier. Woven in Scotland, this 16 oz cloth holds crisp pleats through hours of celebration. 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 Crawford tartan, with its deep red elegance and motto of restorative strength, ensures you'll embody "Tutum Te Robore Reddam" with every step—whether marching at Ayrshire games or dancing at a St. Andrews celebration.
