The Tartan Scarf - How will you wear yours?

The staple accessory for every male or female wardrobe is the tartan scarf, bringing colour to any outfit and occasion, the choice is endless in terms of colour and texture. Today we explore some of the fabrics and yarns and the advantages of each.

Brushed Wool- cosy, cost effective and quite simply very nice. The brushed wool tartan scarf is our best seller and comes in a limited range of clans (about 60) along with some very popular generic tartans that can be worn by anyone. Brushed wool means that once the cloth is woven it is brushed to give that raised, fluffy finish that you expect from a winter scarf.

Woven - light and smart, the woven tartan scarf can be worn smart or casual. And most importantly it is available in over 500 tartans so you are sure to find your heritage in this collection. The woven scarf is pure wool, but lightweight and a fabric rather than woolly.

Infinity - now our best selling scarf, you can line our tartan infinity scarf in a contrast or co-ordinating colour depending on your personal taste or the colour of that new winter jacket. Wrap it round once or twice to show off your Scottish roots. We use a lightweight wool and a satin lining so there is no compromise on quality and comfort.

Faux Fur - super snuggly we love the faux fur scarf and at your request it is now available in a longer length. We can even make a stole if you are making an evening of it!

Oversize Check - new for Autumn Winter 2018 the oversize check is first of all very striking and secondly has the most amazing handle. Superfine merino wool mixed with 10% cashmere makes this scarf feel really thick but at the same time supersoft and light. Definitely a favourite!

Cashmere - if you can afford it then cashmere made in Scotland is the ultimate luxury and we have a range of the most popular tartans for you in this exclusive knit.

Fine wool - our favourite for all weathers, the lovely quality of pure wool but knitted extra fine so it is unbelievably light and scrunches up in a handbag if you get too hot, only to pull out looking just as fabulous when you head back outside.
