MacInnes Hunting Modern Tartan Kilt

The MacInnes Hunting Modern tartan kilt is a vivid representation of the Scottish tradition, incorporating tradition and practicality into its design. Designed to full 8-yard length, this kilt has the traditional, full, Highland style of swing and construction but the 100% acrylic wool gives it the durability, comfort and easy care of both everyday and special wear. The colorway, known as Hunting Modern, is very deep and earth-like, reminiscent of the rocky Scottish terrain, and it makes the kilt look elegant yet at the same time simple.

The most significant thing about this kilt is its rich history interwoven into the pattern. The tartan of MacInnes, registered in 1960, represents the legendary history of Clan Innes, which is among the oldest lineages of Scotland. This unique style is ascribed to John MacInnes of Onich--a reputable tailor, weaver and merchant--whom his skill in craft made so famous. The tartan had long been in use by the clan but in 1960, William McInnes officially documented the tartan in terms of threadcount, ensuring that future generations would be able to maintain its exact pattern.

The local folklore provides an added twist: it is claimed that John MacInnes was a royal patron of King Edward VII on a visit to Onich in the late 19th century. Although the thought of this royal linkage caused some of his neighbours to take uneasy steps, it was a point of pride and honour to Clan Innes.

The MacInnes tartan is one of the most renowned designs in Scotland today, representing a tradition of tradition, craftsmanship and communal affiliations. It is not only a matter of style to wear this MacInnes Hunting Modern 8-yard tartan kilt but it is a matter of carrying proudly and with a lot of confidence a part of the Scottish history.
