Tartan is an amazing design that has quite a history; it is typically associated with Scotland and Scottish family fabrics, although it has been found all over the Western World as a way to illustrate and denote a particular affiliation to a certain family, ‘clan’, school or institution. The way that the warp and weft strands are woven together in the tartan plaid, the orientation, thickness and colour of the vertical and horizontal stripes, as well as the colours of the overall design all indicate something quite specific. These tartan plaid fashion ties take a contemporary view of the historical fabric and incorporate a range of eye catching formal colours in neat diagonal criss crossed striped designs. Now you can wear the Scottish fabric legacy with your favourite shirt and suit and you’ll really stand out! These tartan plaid ties all feature conservative colour combinations such as the elegant “Shades of Yellow, Gold, Blue and Silver Patterned Tie” or the stylish “Burgundy and Gray Patterned Neck Tie”, both of which look and feel great with designs that are bold enough to wear to formal events and special occasions, yet conservative enough to wear around the office every day as well.
