We cannot guarantee the colour accuracy of any tartan shown on this (or any other) site, so we recommend that you purchase a swatch of the actual material in which your kilt or other purchase will be supplied. The price of one swatch per garment can be deducted from any future purchase of a kilt or other tartan product priced at 100 pounds (ex vat) or more. Select your tartan from our comprehensive list of commercially available fabrics.

Decent sized samples provided to give you a reasonable idea of how the pattern will look. Some other companies I've used will give you cheaper samples but the sample sizes are too small. Would definitely advise using this service to make sure you know what you're ordering.

It's extremely helpful having a bit of tartan to see before ordering a kilt. This is pricier than other sites I have looked at, but I knew I was ordering a kilt from here and was going to get that money back, so I could justify it. It's a shame that I won't get credit for the other swatches I ordered. It would be helpful to possibly get smaller swatches of other shades available in the same tartan (for example, swatches from different mills). There seemed to be about 20 versions of my tartan to choose from. The size is decent, but for the amount paid I would have expected a bit more.

A good-sized swatch that was well labeled. What more can you ask for?

I got a swatch of the same tartan as my kilt so I could attach it to my glengarry behind it's cap badge. It was well worth it and now my cap goes pleasantly with my kilt.

A swatch is a great way to check out the quality and colour match of a tartan. I was considering an 'Ancient' plaid and was astonished at the quality of the swatch. So impressed that I ordered a kilt in the material. As the particular material was at a premium price the ability to see and feel it in advance was a real advantage. And I received a partial credit for the swatch when I ordered my kilt--making it a very reasonable prospect. If you are considering buying a kilt (anywhere) take advantage of this service. You won't be disappointed.

I'm glad I got the sample as the color of the tartan was different then I expected.
