County Antrim Tartan was designed in the late 1990’s for the Irish County. Anyone can wear this tartan, whether you’re from the county itself or your name is linked to the area. Irish tartans are a vibrant and meaningful way to celebrate your heritage. Unlike Scottish Clan Tartans, Irish Tartans are designated by family and district. Celebrating the pride and history of Ireland, the most famous Irish kilt is known as the Saffron Kilt, an instantly recognisable solid block of yellow/mustard. The solid block of colour is the accepted reason why one colour kilts are generally thought of as Irish kilts. Solid kilts are still worn in Scotland, however, they have not been as popular as traditional tartan kilts, and this is why they are more commonly recognised as Irish. Not all Irish tartans are designed in this way, and there is a varied collection of Irish tartans to choose between. These include the Irish National tartan, to a stylish range of Irish County tartans that were designed in 1996.
