Dark Island Tartan

The Dark Island tartan is one of the most unique styles of tartans available since ancient times. The unique factor about the Dark Island style is that it has a subtle black-on-black shadow set, which enables the creation of an on-trend look. This Dark Island range is unique and striking.

The Dark Island tartan has been made from 100% pure new wool tartans, which are made from the top quality Scottish mills. The Dark Island tartan comes with a tuck-in selvedge along with a piece dyed for a stylish tone. This dyed piece of the Dark Island has been known for its tone-on-tone ‘shadow’ tartan. This set pattern of the Dark Island tartan can subtly give the reproduced effects for kilts and help their creation with a difference.

The Dark Island tartan is available in the shades of black and navy and this is the most unique feature of this tartan. These materials can be used only for garments and not any other purposes due to its dark hues. However when worn with the right cut and design, the Dark Island tartan emerges as a winner for formal occasions or even for ceremonies where the use of bright colors is not required or feasible.
