tartan scarf

Scottish pattern wrap

A tartan scarf is a scarf made from tartan—the distinctive crisscrossing pattern of colored stripes associated with Scottish heritage.

Each pattern traditionally identifies a particular clan, though modern tartan scarves are worn for warmth and style without clan affiliation: She wrapped a tartan scarf around her neck against the wind.
