American Confederate Cavalry Ancient Tartan

The Ancient interpretation of American Confederate Cavalry brings the green and brown checks into a quieter, almost weathered range. Fine reddish-brown lines give the muted fields a little warmth. It is a good example of how a palette change can alter the feel of a military-named tartan.

About American Confederate Cavalry Ancient Tartan

Ancient is a tartan colourway term, not a statement about the age of the pattern or its use by Confederate troops. The name of the design refers to a period of American history that should be approached accurately, including the Confederacy’s defence of slavery. Compare this cloth directly with Cavalry Modern when coordinating an existing item.

Wearing and styling American Confederate Cavalry Ancient Tartan

A natural-coloured shirt, brown tweed and dark leather bring out the softer earth tones. If using a large kilt apron, the checked green fields will read as a continuous texture; smaller accessories can feature one contrasting rust stripe. Keep metal accessories simple to preserve the quiet look.
