St. Andrews Modern | 13 - 16 oz. Wool

Mill: MM
Weight: 16 oz.
Notes:
This is a universal tartan that ANYONE can wear. Designed in 1930 by Arthur Bottomley, a director of Peter MacArthur Ltd., specifically for the use of Prince George, the Duke of Kent, who bore the title 'Earl of St. Andrews'. He first wore it in 1939 to a Highland Society dinner in London, three years before he was killed on active duty in World War II. Although it started life as a Restricted Royal tartan, it is said that Marks & Spencers mounted a sales promotion with it in a 1973 campaign and since then it has gradually become the District tartan for St. Andrews and the surrounding area. There is no independent evidence of the M & S Claim.

This tartan dates to 1930.
