As of 14th October 2022 we rebelled, and for now have an anti-social media platform policy. Let's connect in a real way, set yourself free from the scroll....
The coat comes with full permission for you to style as you feel. There are no restrictive pieces of hardware such as zips and buttons, you are provided with a giant kilt pin to get creative. We aspire to minimise the hardware on all of our products, so that when one day (in many centuries to come) someone may recycle your coat and we have helped make that much easier. Indeed less is always more....
Dimensions - One size is currently available, comparable to a UK 8/10/12/14, the coat length from collar top to bottom is 120cm, the coat width from edge to edge is 128cm, sleeve length 39cm on a dropped shoulder style, measurement between should to shoulder approx 45cm, sleeve cuff circumference is 58cm at arm entry and cuff.
Colour Options - You can choose from a Light Hazard or Dark Hazard version of this tartan, we know its a danger decision....
Made with 100% Finest Merino Wool, we have created a once felt never forgotten or taken off Coat! Exclusive and designed in-house by us Rebel Highlanders! Made at our mill in the Scottish Highlands Made by Tartan Rebels with purpose
Each coat is be cut by hand from the cloth roll woven at our mill, therefore aspects of the repeat will be unique to each item. All of our fashion legacy pieces are made in the Scottish Highlands by our super talented team.
I made my wife and sister in law come to the mill tour and they enjoyed it as much as I did. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a real privilege to see everyone at work and to witness the making of the Witches of Scotland Tartan. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Prickly Thistle weaving mill. What Claire & her team are doing is an inspiration towards a sustainable future. People & planet before profits must be the way of the future! After, we headed to their flagship store Rebel Row where I ordered a contemporary kilt. I'm very excited to wear it this winter in Australia!
My Wee Lassie has been looking at the Wild Robe for a while and showed me the style and story behind them when she first saw it a few years back
As our wedding anniversary was coming up and she showed it to me again this time in the Black Elements, thought I would surprise her and enlisted the help of DD (aka Darling Daughter) to use her shoulder measurements and adjust for her mum.
We contacted Prickly Thistle about the length, as my Wee Lassie is indeed wee at under 5 foot. Clare responded and we sorted it all out. Clare thank you for you patience to my sometimes naive questions.
When the Wee Lassie got it and tried it on, she was delighted with it, and one of her first comments was the pockets were in the right place. I guess when things are designed for someone taller, and hemming is the only adjustment made, then invariably the pockets are too low for the shorter individuals.
Not this case, as Clare and her Rebel clan nailed it!!
Many thanks for the time and effort in sizing and making this for my Wee Lassie.
It is much appreciated.
Best wishes to all from Canada...
Although we live just 40 odd miles away it has taken us months to get to Inverness and to THE shop. I felt like a kid in a sweetie shop there was so much gorgeous material and clothing. I came away with a fabulous jacket which I spied as we walked into the shop. I'm hoping an oddment of slinky soft turquoise and blue can be found for even a patch pocket. There was one last top in those colours but it was for a slim and delicately tiny person. I will wear my best ever present with such joy and think of the two lovely helpful ladies in the shop and the lady so thrilled with her Climate tartan top. Now for a trip to the Mill….
The Aliam scarf is beautiful. Vibrant colors. Lovely way to honor Alan and Miriam and their travels through Scotland. I’ve received many compliments on the scarf. Beautiful.
How lucky was I to receive this gorgeous scarf as a birthday gift, so soft and the design just beautiful, tasteful and greatly admired. What a find, this mill has so much to offer.
I bought this top as a treat to wear at our Burns Supper with my Prickly Thistle Kilt (that I wear often and love). I am a huge fan of Prickly Thistle for so many reasons-the quality, sustainability, talent and most of all the clothes are all gorgeous. Proud to wear!
The sample I received very speedily was beautiful fabric and lovely colours.
I asked the company for an explanation of the stripes, and had a fairly quick reply with this. Thank you for that. It would however have been even better if there was a note about how the fabric came about, in with the original package, because it is very interesting and should really be included together, and good enough to frame with it. But now I have both to put this together myself, which I can do, even if the email isn't pretty, I can stick it onto the back of the frame where it won't be seen. It would be nice to somehow make it elegant enough to be at the front of the frame. I did like that my sample came with a certificate on behalf of the Keeper of the Scottish Register of Tartans tho.
Loved my climate change jumper tee. I work in communications in the environment sector. What a great way to communicate the climate crisis we need to address! Also love the heritage and quality of the piece and the beautiful colouring, regardless of it's stark message. Can't wait to explore more of Prickly Thistle's innovative clothing
My beautiful coat arrived in NZ, even though it’s mid summer, I still have worn it on cooler evenings (it is NZ!). Clare was amazing and talked me through the process of my bespoke order, she was amazing! The coat is beautiful, unique and fantastic quality. So looking forward to colder days (it is NZ, so plenty of them) to throw it on. Can’t recommend this company more highly.
