Historical Context
The Royal Welsh Tartan, a recent addition to the world of tartans, was first registered in 2000. Since then, 36 unique tartans have emerged from Wales, showcasing a distinctive weaving technique that contrasts with traditional Scottish tartans. While Scottish designs feature equal warp and weft proportions, resulting in square patterns, Welsh tartans are characterized by their rectangular and striped designs. This tartan holds significant importance in Welsh history, celebrating the legacy and accomplishments of personnel since the Royal Welsh's formation in 1915. The men and women of the Royal Welsh take pride in their roles as ceremonial guardians of the royal palaces, embodying the spirit of their heritage.
Tartan Description
The Royal Welsh Tartan features a striking color scheme of dark blue, crimson, and green, complemented by black, red, and white. These colors symbolize various aspects of Welsh pride and military heritage: dark blue and crimson represent the Tactical Recognition Flash, while green denotes the plume worn on ceremonial bearskin hats. The black, red, and white colors pay homage to fallen comrades, reflecting deep respect and remembrance. The tartan's pattern consists of delicate stripes, crafted from single strands, giving it a unique aesthetic compared to the broader strokes often found in Scottish tartans. Made from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan ensures durability and comfort.
