Every Gordon knows the family’s deep blue and green. This is the dress version of that tartan, lightened onto a white ground for evening wear and the dance floor, and it reads brighter and more formal than the everyday Gordon sett.
The pattern sits on a clean white ground crossed by bands of navy and green, with a single bright yellow line running through it, the mark that has always set the Gordon tartan apart. Against the white, those colours stand out sharply under lights.
Clan Gordon were the “Cock o’ the North”, one of the most powerful families in the northeast of Scotland, seated at Huntly and across Aberdeenshire. The name carried through to the famous Gordon Highlanders, and the tartan is still worn with real pride by Gordons at home and across the diaspora.
Dress Gordon is a favourite for Highland dancing, weddings, Burns Night and evening functions, wherever a lighter, dressier tartan is called for. Wear it with a Prince Charlie jacket for formal nights, add a dress sporran, and finish with a set of kilt hose.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard if you want deeper pleating and heavier drape. Knife-pleated at the back with a flat front apron, fastened with leather straps and metal buckles. Made to your measurements, so send your waist and length and it is cut to fit.
