Product description
The tartan is the famous Scottish plaid fabric in which alternating coloured rows of threads are interwoven. This material has been worn throughout history in Scotland; the Celts were likewise known to wear it, and the fabric was already recognised in Roman times for its quality and distinctive appearance.
The traditional Scottish costume consisted of the brat, leine and ionar, and was worn for centuries. The brat was a cloak that could be worn over the shoulders. The manner of wearing the plaid is similar to that of the brat. The plaid may be worn over the kilt, whilst the belt must hold it in place so that it does not fall off.
The plaid may also be utilised as a warm scarf, as a blanket, or as a home decoration.
