Irvine Weathered Tartan

Historical Significance

The Irvine Weathered Tartan is steeped in the rich heritage of the Irvine Clan, which dates back to the 12th century. The name "Irvine" likely derives from the Brythonic term "ir-afon," meaning "green water." With roots in Dumfriesshire, the clan is traditionally linked to early Celtic monarchs. Their historic stronghold, Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire, was granted to William de Irwin by Robert the Bruce in 1325 due to his loyal service. The Irvines played a pivotal role in Scotland's history, notably supporting the Jacobite cause in the 18th century. Despite various challenges, the legacy of the Irvine Clan lives on through its tartan, a symbol of pride for those connected to Scottish heritage. Drum Castle remained in the family until 1975 when it was passed to the National Trust for Scotland.

Color Scheme & Pattern

The Irvine Weathered Tartan features brown, gray, white, and black in a subtle and earthy design. The warm brown tones evoke a grounding and traditional feel, while the muted gray squares offer a cool contrast that complements the warmth of the brown. Thin white stripes interwoven throughout provide a crisp highlight, and the subtle black lines add depth and structure to the pattern. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort, making it a superb choice for those who appreciate classic style and timeless elegance in heritage garments.
