Historical Context
The Manitoba Tartan has a rich history that dates back to the province's early days. Manitoba is a Canadian prairie province named after a Cree word meaning "the place where the spirit (manitou) speaks." Designed in 1962 by Hugh P. Sutherland, a Scottish weaver, the tartan reflects the province's natural beauty and cultural heritage. It symbolizes Manitoba's Scottish roots and has become a beloved emblem within the local community.
Color Scheme and Pattern
The Manitoba Tartan features a striking combination of red, yellow, black, green, and sky blue. These colors represent the unique landscape of the province and the four distinct seasons that define life in Manitoba. The bold pattern consists of intersecting lines and squares, creating a design that is both classic and contemporary. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort.
