Plaids and tartans, especially those linked to family clans, are a centuries-old symbol of Scottish national dress, based in the Highlands.
These days, the signature criss-crossed bands and stripes can be found in countless colors and patterns, and are no longer reserved just for kilts. Tartan adds a dash of old-world tradition to accessories of every description, from scarves and umbrellas to flannel shirts.
And slippers!
Canada has strong influences of Scottish heritage, as evidenced by Alfred Cloutier’s Tartan- Lined Slippers for men. Made in Quebec, Canada, they pair classic plaid with another important tradition: genuine leather and Indigenous-inspired moccasin design.
These soft-soled moccasin-style slippers are simple, yet elegant, made with fine leather hides in a deep shade of umber. The interior is lined with a cushioned insole of contrasting tartan that is gentle underfoot, and easy to slip in and out of. Rawhide laces and meticulous stitching along the U-shaped upper vamp complete the look.
