The Timeless Appeal of our Red Nicolson Muted Tartan

A muted take on our clan tartan, we would describe the Red Nicolson Muted as ‘red - but not too red’.

There’s something undeniably special about a tartan that feels both familiar and fresh - and Red Nicolson Muted strikes that balance beautifully. Woven from pure wool, it’s a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary ease, with colours that feel timeless but never tired.

If you love coordinating your outfit down to the details, this tartan gives you plenty to play with. Pick up the red or green in your hose, match a tie to the blue overcheck, or keep everything understated and let the tartan do the talking.

A staple tartan for any wardrobe

Red Nicolson Muted Tartan features a bold red base, grounded with black and featuring highlights of green with a flash of blue. An undeniably festive combination that partners equally well with formal Prince Charlies or Nicolson Tweeds alike.

That bold-yet-muted red makes it a natural choice for the winter season - warm, rich, and incredibly flattering in candlelight or the soft glow of the fireplace. It’s the kind of tartan that stands out without shouting, making it ideal for everything from winter weddings to Christmas dinners, ceilidhs, and all the little moments in between.
