Pacific Northwest Wool Midi Kilt

The Pacific Northwest is teeming with life; from the cold tumbling waves of the Pacific Ocean, to roaring rivers filled with salmon, to dense moss-covered nooks and crannies of the forest. Rugged individuals have inhabited this land for millennia. Each generation has acknowledged that this place holds great power and each honors it by treading lightly with humility and respect. This tartan is for anyone who seeks the primal both within themselves and their environment. For anyone who knows deep down that life is an adventure.

For our Pacific Northwest Tartan, we’ve balanced the life giving elements of this region - the forests and the waterways - using dusky greens and blues.

The navy blue symbolizes the water of the Pacific Ocean, the Salish Sea, and the rivers that carve their way through the land.

Dark green represents the evergreen trees of the rainforest – Douglas fir, western redcedar, hemlock, and Sitka spruce.

We included a stripe of light green for the ferns, moss, and other groundcovers in the forest.

The color brown is a nod to the native wildlife of the earth and the air… like bald eagles, bears, deer, mountain lions, and beavers.

A delicate line of rusty red symbolizes marine life, like salmon and trout, that thrives in the Pacific Northwest.

And finally, a soft gray represents both the shrouding forest mist and the rocky terrain and mountains that reign over this realm.
