O’Neill is one of the great names of Ulster, and its tartan wears the saffron and green that has stood for Irish identity for centuries.
The sett is built on a deep green ground blocked with bright saffron gold, crossed by fine lines of red and white. Green carries the land itself, saffron recalls the old Irish léine dyed with the same colour, and the red and white lift the pattern into something sharp and vivid.
The O’Neills of Tyrone were one of the most powerful families in Gaelic Ireland, descended from the ancient Uí Néill dynasty and long recognised as Kings and later Earls of Tyrone. Hugh O’Neill’s stand against the Tudor conquest at the end of the 16th century remains one of the defining chapters of Irish history, and the name is still carried with real pride across Ireland and its diaspora.
It suits weddings, St Patrick’s Day and any gathering where Irish heritage is worn openly. Wear it with an Argyll kilt jacket, add a leather sporran, and finish with a set of kilt hose.
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.
