MacDonald Weathered Tartan 8 Yard Kilt - Clan Donald Sea-Aged Wool Kilts

MacDonald Weathered Tartan 8-Yard Scottish Highland Kilt

Meet your fate with timeless dignity in our MacDonald Weathered Tartan 8 Yard Scottish Kilt—an authentic Highland garment for Clan Donald descendants seeking the aged elegance of the Hebrides. Featuring the salt-faded reds, storm-washed greens, and misty greys of the Weathered sett, this traditional 8-yard kilt honors the clan motto "Per Mare Per Terras" (By Sea and By Land) with the patina of Atlantic winds and centuries of island heritage.

Clan Donald: Weathered by the Western Seas

As Lords of the Isles, the MacDonalds ruled from castles of stone and salt spray, their tartans naturally weathered by the harsh Atlantic gales of the Hebrides. The Weathered colorway replicates this authentic aged appearance—colors softened by sun and sea until they blend with the rocky shores and misty mountains of their island kingdom.

The Weathered Aesthetic: Aged by the Atlantic

The Weathered palette transforms the bold MacDonald colors into sophisticated, muted tones. Expect rust-faded scarlets, sea-washed forest greens, and heather-greys that evoke tartans left drying on castle walls after Highland rain. This atmospheric colorway offers vintage elegance perfect for those who honor the ancient maritime heritage of the Western Isles.

Traditional 8-Yard Highland Construction

• Clan Donald Weathered Sett: Aged pattern in rust-red, sea-green, and mist-grey
• 16oz Heavy Worsted Wool: Premium Scottish-woven for lasting pleat definition
• Hand-Pleated to Sett: Pattern matched at knife pleats for visual continuity
• Selvedge Edge Finish: Traditional unhemmed raw woven edge
• Double-Fringed Apron: Hand-finished front with decorative fringe

Hebridean Versatility

The Weathered colorway pairs naturally with brown tweed jackets, aged leather sporrans, and earth-toned Highland accessories. Ideal for Clan Donald Society gatherings, Western Isles heritage events, and those who prefer the distinguished look of tartans aged by time and tradition over bright modern hues.

Precision Measurement

Critical: Measure firmly around your navel (natural waist), not trouser waist. Scottish kilt sizing runs 2-4 inches larger than modern pants.

• Standard length: 24 inches (mid-knee)
• Custom lengths available for proper proportion
