Custom Tartan & Plaid Designs

Tartan is an iconic and beloved symbol representing Family, Community, Competitiveness and, above all else, the Warrior Spirit.

Tartan’s strongly defined pattern is built from intersecting lines of colours (thread counts), which can interpret significant information about its membership. Each band of colour is created from the number of threads identifying special dates, accomplishments and milestones.

History & Museum

  • George Washington

    Just days after the Continental Army’s surprise victory at Trenton, New Jersey, General George Washington decided to execute another daring maneuver to confront the British at Princeton on January 3, 1777. The resulting victory boosted American morale and inspired many recruits to join the Continental Army the following spring.


    The colors of this unique tartan were inspired by Charles Willson Peale’s masterful painting portraying General Washington after the Battle of Princeton. The exquisite design artfully blends the rich buff and blue hues of Washington’s distinctive uniform. In this meticulously crafted tartan, each thread is a brushstroke, inspired by Peale’s brush and the indomitable spirit of Washington’s triumph.

  • Mount Vernon

    Mount Vernon started as a modest house built in 1734 by Augustine Washington. George Washington’s elder half brother, Lawrence, lived there from 1741 until 1752. George leased the property in 1754 and inherited it in 1761. He raised the roof to make it two and a half stories high in the late 1750s. By 1774, he added the north and south wings, the cupola, and the piazza, shaping it into the structure we see today.

    The nearly 11,000-square-foot Mansion dwarfed most late 18thcentury Virginia homes, typically 200 to 1,200 square feet. The twostory porch facing the Potomac, designed by Washington, is iconic. This grand façade, rare then, became widely copied in America.
