About

Please remember that an online image can never represent a fabric perfectly, and that's especially true of our computer-generated versions of rare tartans we can weave. Please order a swatch where available if you're concerned about precise shades.
Dr Nick Fiddes, Founder

Colour is such an important detail in any outfit and given the different colour displays of computers, colour accuracy is something that can't be guaranteed.

To be sure that the colours you've ordered your kilt in (or any other item) are what you're expecting, we recommend that you purchase a swatch of the actual material. Select your tartan - and the swatch - from our huge range of tartans and suppliers.

For woven-to-order fabrics from our D.C. Dalgliesh mill, it is not possible to provide swatches prior to weaving.

The price of one swatch per garment can be deducted from any future purchase of a kilt or other tartan product priced at £100 (ex vat) or more. The size of the swatch will vary from mill to mill, but will always be enough to give you a good idea of what to expect.

I need more advice - how can I get help?

We have three main ways of giving you extra information:

1. all around our site you’ll see little ‘info’ icons (like this: ) with help relevant to the place you see it; clicking one will normally pop up a help box, keeping you on the same page;

2. we have a large, fully searchable, Information Centre, linked at the top of every page, covering product advice, customer services, site navigation, and much more; try searching for the topic of your query (e.g. “returns”).

Where can I find more in-depth information about kilts & tartans?

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.

If you're shopping for a tartan you need to order swatches for each one being considered. Tartans viewed on computer monitors are reasonably accurate representations but there's no substitute for having the real thing in your hands, to feel it and look at it under different lighting conditions. I was considering several tartans for my 8 yard kilt, mainly the Caledonia, but decided to order swatches of a few others as well. Caledonia won out for my 8 yard kilt but Isle of Skye was so beautiful I ordered a second, casual kilt in it. You can narrow your choices on the computer but you need the swatches to make that final decision.

I was looking at various tartans trying to decide which weight and weave would be best for my wedding outfit. When this swatch arrived I was able to send it onward to compare with the bridesmaid dresses and found it was a great match. So much so that I've ordered what I require in the tartan and weave that I need from Scotweb. Great service and friendly staff who were able to help me split an order on some other swatches that I'd ordered. Finally thanks to Scotweb I can relax a little knowing that my wedding outfit is in hand and its one less stress for me.
