Colour:
Shades: A softened Ancient palette featuring muted scarlet red as the base, complemented by deep green and blue, with clean yellow accents defining the overcheck. These tones reflect the naturally aged, vegetable‑dye character typical of Ancient variants.
Design: A traditional Munroe sett built from balanced red blocks overlaid with green and blue checks, framed by fine yellow lines. The structure aligns with the long‑established Munro pattern, historically linked to the clan and documented across ancient forms.
Overall: A classic, historically rooted clan tartan with softened, heritage‑informed colouring. Munroe Ancient maintains the recognisable geometry of the Munroe sett while presenting a gentler, time‑worn palette suited to traditional dress, cultural events and historically influenced garments.

11oz Tartan Properties
Texture: A closely woven, all-wool worsted fabric with a versatile light weight. It offers the look and character of traditional wool while being softer and more comfortable against the skin.
Handle: A stable, closely woven fabric that is hard-wearing and made to last. Perfect for structured pleats and tailored details.
Drape: In addition to holding crisp details, this fabric drapes with a reassuring weight, ideal for bias cuts, flares, and flounced designs. The tartan sett can be cleverly used to create striking focal points in bespoke garments and creative pieces.

Scottish Kilt Sewing Pattern
A sewing pattern with instructions for creating a complete set of Scottish traditional attire, including pattern pieces for the jacket, men’s vest, women’s knitted vest, and knitted socks. The kilt, however, is made differently from the other garments.
A traditional kilt isn’t cut from pattern pieces but instead shaped and constructed directly from the tartan’s woven setts (the design woven into the fabric), this sewing pattern provides clear, detailed guidance on how to pleat and construct the kilt using the fabric itself.
The result is an authentic, beautifully structured kilt created the traditional way - guided by the weave, rather than paper templates.
