 Scottish
Tartan Trews
You've been asking for them... we are now very proud to offer
made-to-measure tartan trews through our museum gift shop. With four
styles available, we are sure to have the trews to fit your needs.
The original tartan trews (Gaelic truibhs) were
tight pants and cut on the bias. Modern trews are cut more like trousers,
with certain stylistic elements adapted to Highland Dress. Traditionally,
Lowland Scottish regiments have worn trews with their No. 1, mess and full dress
uniforms. The new Royal Scottish Regiment continues to wear trews in
certain orders of dress.
You can order your trews from the Scottish Tartans Museum in
four different styles:
Standard Trousers:
Standard "1 pleat" trousers made from tartan cloth.
Argyle: Trews
cut with a high waist to wear with a kilt belt and Argyle style jacket.
(pictured right)
Fishtail: Trews
cut with a very high "fishtail" style waist for wear with a Prince Charlie
jacket.
Military:
Fishtail style trews made in the traditional military fashion with no outside
seams.
As these are each
made-to-measure we will need to know not only the tartan you choose, but also
your waist, hip, and inseam measurements, in that order (ex. 36/42/30).
These trews are available in any tartan from Lochcarron of Scotland's 13 oz
range (click
here), in any measurement up to 44" waist or hip (whichever is largest).
If your measurements are larger, please call for a price quote.
