Hickey Tartan

Historical Significance

The Hickey Tartan proudly represents the rich Irish heritage of the Hickey family from County Clare, Ireland. Its Gaelic origin, Ó hÍceadh, means “descendant of a healer,” highlighting the clan’s respected role as physicians to Irish chiefs. Though not a Scottish clan, the Hickey family’s history is full of honor, courage, and service. The family crest features an arm holding a dagger, symbolizing protection and strength, while the motto “Honor Virtutis Praemium” (“Honor is the Reward of Virtue”) emphasizes their long-standing values of integrity and loyalty.

Color Scheme & Pattern

This Hickey Tartan showcases a vibrant red, deep green, and subtle black combination. The red stands for bravery and determination, while the green celebrates the Irish roots and lush landscapes of County Clare. Black lines provide structure and depth, creating a classic check pattern that reflects tradition, pride, and timeless style. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, it is durable, comfortable, and perfect for creating custom Irish Attire, from kilts to accessories.
