Fabric & heritage

The Davis of Wales tartan (also registered as Davies Welsh) features a distinctive royal blue base crossed with forest green blocks and accented by golden yellow lines—colors that evoke the Welsh landscape of deep skies, verdant valleys, and gorse-covered hills. Unlike Scottish clan tartans with ancient heraldic origins, Welsh family tartans were developed in the 20th century to give Welsh families the same symbolic textile tradition enjoyed by Scottish clans. The Davies/Davis family is one of Wales's most widespread surnames, derived from the patronymic "ap Dafydd" (son of David). Woven in Scotland to traditional Highland standards, this 16 oz cloth holds crisp pleats through hours of celebration. Dry clean only; store hanging to preserve pleat memory.

• Celtic festivals: Represent Wales alongside Scottish and Irish kin—Eisteddfod, National Eisteddfod, Celtic Connections

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 Celtic formal wear for centuries. The Davis of Wales tartan, with its royal-blue Welsh elegance and Scottish Highlander construction, ensures you'll honor both traditions—Cymru's heritage in every thread, Scotland's craft in every pleat.
