Historical Context
The GRM Tartan, with its rich heritage, traces its origins back to the Scottish Highlands, where tartans were worn as a symbol of clan identity and pride. Initially handwoven from local wool, each pattern was unique, representing specific clans and their history. Tartan became widely recognized during the 18th century, particularly with figures like Sir Walter Scott, who popularized Highland dress. The tartan's significance extended beyond fashion, serving as a visual representation of loyalty and cultural pride, especially during key events like the Jacobite risings.

This particular tartan features a striking combination of black and gray, creating a bold yet sophisticated look. The dominant black symbolizes strength and resilience, while the gray reflects balance and neutrality.
