Every Mitchell carries the softened colours of the Ancient palette in this tartan, green and blue set against black with bright red and white running through.
The sett runs on green and blue blocks, crossed with a black overcheck and fine red and white lines. It shares its pattern with the Hunter, Galbraith and Russell tartans, one of several related families who wear this same distinctive check.
The Mitchell name comes from the Hebrew Michael, “who is like God,” likely brought to Scotland by the Normans, and the family became established landowners in Ayrshire and Stirling. This Ancient colourway reflects the softer, muted tones tartans carried before 1860, when natural animal and vegetable dyes gave setts a mossier green and dustier blue than the bolder Modern versions woven today.
It suits Highland Games, weddings, Burns Night, or anyone with Mitchell roots in Ayrshire or Stirling. Pair it with a Argyll jacket, add a leather sporran, and finish with a kilt pin.
Woven in tartan wool blend as a 5-yard kilt, or 8-yard for 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.
