Love Scotland and want to wear something with a connection to the Czech lands? Czech National Tartan brings those interests together. Its appeal lies in the idea behind the design as much as in its appearance.
A design with a named creator
The Scottish Register of Tartans lists Václav Rout as the designer and places Czech National in the District category. Use the full name, Czech National Tartan, when enquiring about the cloth. This helps you compare the same design rather than simply looking for similar colours.
The meaning behind the colours
In his account, Václav Rout associates the blue, green and black ground colours with water, forests and mineral wealth. The Czech tricolour forms the central motif; further stripes refer to Moravia, Silesia and the Czech lands' experience of two twentieth-century dictatorships. This is the designer's explanation of the symbolism, which you can explore in his original account.
Find your way to wear it
Would you like the tartan to be the main feature of your outfit? Consider a kilt. If you prefer a smaller detail, a tie may be the better starting point. KiltForYou offers Czech National Tartan cloth and a tie in the design. We suggest a simple shirt and restrained accessories to give the pattern space.
Look at a real sample before deciding
Check the composition, fabric weight, dimensions and availability of the specific item. For colour decisions, we recommend a physical swatch where one is available. Compare it with the clothes you plan to wear. A photograph is a helpful starting point; seeing the cloth also gives you the chance to judge its texture.
Start with what you want to wear
There is no need to plan an entire formal outfit at once. Decide whether you want an accessory for a suit, cloth for your own project or a made-to-measure kilt. A clear idea makes the choice easier. Tell us what you have in mind and we can discuss the available options.
