Black Watch is one of the most historically specific tartans in existence. It was established in the early eighteenth century as the regimental pattern of the 42nd Regiment of Foot, the Highland regiment formed in 1739 and known as the Black Watch, named for the dark colouring of the cloth and the role of the Highland companies in watching over the Scottish Highlands. Unlike most tartans, Black Watch is not associated with a specific clan, having originated as a government and military pattern, which is why it has always been considered universally wearable outside of regimental dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sett is built from deep navy, racing green and black in a proportion that causes the navy to read almost as black from a distance, leaving the racing green as the dominant visible colour. In tweed wool the pattern carries weight and depth that lighter cloth constructions cannot replicate, and at jacket scale it reads as formal enough for tailored dressing and specific enough to make an immediate statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRalph Lauren has returned to Black Watch tartan consistently across his career, and it sits at the centre of his engagement with Anglo-American sporting and military heritage. The jacket closes with two buttons on notch lapels, with envelope-style patch pockets with flaps at the hips. Patch pockets keep the jacket on the relaxed side of the tartan's formal potential, which is where the pattern works best outside of Highland dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Ralph Lauren","offers":[{"title":"50 IT \/ 40 US \/ Large \/ Navy \/ 100% Tweed Wool","offer_id":59630362591564,"sku":"SA02874","price":378.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6187\/1105\/files\/Photoroom_20261102_222705.jpg?v=1793701628","url":"https:\/\/sartorialistamsterdam.com\/nl\/products\/ralph-lauren-black-racing-green-wool-blackwatch-tartan-jacket","provider":"Sartorialista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
