The County Cork Tartan Kilt wears the tartan of Ireland’s largest county. Cork — Corcaigh — spreads across the south-west of Munster, from the harbour city to the wild Atlantic coast, a proud “Rebel County” with a fierce sense of its own identity. Like Ireland’s other county tartans, it lets those with Cork roots wear their home in Highland-style dress, at home or across the diaspora.
The sett is warm and countryish: a ground of green and navy blue crossed by strong red bands, with fine yellow overchecks running through. The green and blue read as field and sea, the red gives it energy, and the golden lines add a bright Munster warmth — a rich, characterful cloth all its own.
It suits weddings, St Patrick’s Day and gatherings of every kind. Wear it with an Argyll kilt jacket, add a leather sporran, and pick out the green with a set of kilt hose.
A county tartan for Cork, wherever its people have settled.

The County Cork Tartan Kilt exceeded my expectations. The tartan pattern is stunning, the fit is precise, and it feels like true Scottish heritage.
