Hire of the Month - January 2025 - Blue Buchanan Scottish Wool Tartan
Blue Buchanan is the first of our Hire tartans to be woven using 100% Scottish wool. Proudly woven by Lochcarron of Scotland at their Selkirk Mill, in the heart of the Scottish Borders.
Beautiful Blue Buchanan Tartan
Taking a fresh look at the well-kent Modern Buchanan Tartan, Blue Buchanan replaces bold red, yellow and green yarns with an alogether subtler palette.
Earthy brown becomes the base over which brighter, stronger blue tones are woven, finished with a brilliant highlight of white.
This is a stylish statement cloth - eyecatching without being over-confident, and a handsome new addition to the Buchanan clan.
Scottish Wool Tartan
Throughout our years of endeavor, Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers has always focused on traditional methods of craftsmanship using authentic materials.
When it comes to the tartans we use, we prefer to work with trusted Scottish Mills who weave the finest yarns into the highest quality of genuine tartan cloth.
It may therefore be something of a surprise to learn that not all Scottish Tartans are woven using Scottish wool - over several decades the increasing demand for greater quantities of wool cloth,higher yields and softer handling led the textiles industry to source different yarns from across the globe. Traditional Scottish yarns began to be thought of as a touch rougher, less desirable.
However, as we all begin to consider our envionmental impacts, Lochcarron are leading the return to manufacturing with British and Scottish wools, developing the qualities of these textiles while supporting local British & Scottish farmers.
Lochcarrons inimitable Strome quality cloth is a 16oz Heavyweight tartan woven in 100% Scottish Wool and considered by many to be the best kilting fabric available, and we are proud to include this beautifully resilient tartan within our Hire ranges.
