Team USA Tartan

The Design of our Team USA Tartan

The colours of our Team USA Tartan - red, white, and blue - are those of the American flag, woven into a pattern that subtly echoes the “stars and stripes.” The red symbolises courage and valour, white stands for purity and innocence, and blue reflects perseverance, and justice; core principles woven into the fabric of the nation. Woven locally, our Team USA tartan is crafted using 100% British wool for premium quality and sustainability.

You can order this unique tartan by the metre or half metre, or commission a bespoke Team USA Tartan product from our skilled team. Choose from a wide range of handcrafted items, including kilts, shawls, ties, cosmetic bags, and more - all made in our workshop in the South of Scotland.

The Story behind our Team USA Tartan

This tartan was conceived in 2016 to mark the 250th Anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence — the moment at which the thirteen American colonies formally declared their separation from British rule.

Each 4th of July, friends, dispersed family and well-wishers worldwide send love and greetings across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to their families, loved ones and compatriots in the USA. Ahead of the 260th Anniversary, we believed it fitting to formally authenticate this tartan in the spirit of its original designer, David McGill; whose hope was that it be a gift to all American citizens, regardless of race, colour, creed, or heritage.

As Scotland’s Independence Day gift, the TEAM USA Tartan was offered to every American, as a gesture of friendship, unity, and shared ideals. Let this tartan serve as a reminder of shared history and higher purpose. Use it wisely. Use it freely. Use it for the common good.
