The tartan

The Register of Scottish Tartans classifies Stewart Hunting as a clan/family tartan, even if it is often regarded as a universal or general tartan. By all means, it is one of the most popular tartans, and it should be the one Queen Victoria preferred over all other tartans. Due to the asymmetric pattern, the Stewart Hunting tartan is rather special.

The kilt

A cheap, casual, ready-made PV-kilt.
Like Queen Victoria, I like the Stewart Hunting tartan. The PV fabric was fine, and so was the sewing quality, but the pleating. The vertical red stripe and the yellow one next to it at the centre of the back could have been better aligned, I thought. After having got other kilts, I sold it. The pleating was not an issue for the buyer. Hopefully, he is still enjoying wearing it.
