Gordon Dress Tartan

Historical Context

In Scottish history, the Gordon Dress Tartan is believed to have been associated with The Gordon Highlanders, a military regiment that played a significant role in Scotland’s military history. A tartan often referred to as “Military,” it draws inspiration from the iconic Black Watch military tartan. Its distinctive yellow stripe sets it apart from other military tartans. A prominent member of the Gordon family, the 4th Duke of Gordon, has played an integral role in the promotion of this tartan, ensuring its status as a symbol of Scottish pride. In Scottish culture, the tartan embodies the spirit of loyalty and valor that defines the Highlanders.

Color Scheme and Pattern

Black, white, yellow, navy blue, forests green, and royal blue are the colors of the Gordon Dress Tartan. In Scotland, each color has a symbolic meaning; navy blue symbolizes loyalty, forest green represents the lush landscape, and yellow symbolizes the warmth of the sun. Gordon’s family heritage and elegance are evident in this pattern’s bold stripes and intricate design.

The tartan has been crafted from 100% acrylic wool to ensure both durability and comfort.
