Royal Navy Tartan

The Design of our Royal Navy Tartan

The Royal Navy tartan encompasses the colours historically associated with the Senior Service; red, white and blue for the various ensigns, royal purple for its title, and all in a setting of navy blue for the sea, the endless sea. All of our tartan is woven locally with 100% British wool, and can be ordered by the metre or half metre. We can also create a bespoke Royal Navy tartan product for you. Choose from a wide range which includes kilts, shawls, ties, cosmetic bags and more. They will be handmade in our workshop in the South of Scotland.

The Story behind our Royal Navy Tartan

The Royal Navy Tartan was designed for ‘sailors’ everywhere as a common bond regardless of rank, and as an identity for informal occasions and everyday wear. Designed by David McGill of International Tartans, commissioned by Lt Commander, Eric Miller (retired), 'for those in peril on the sea'.
