The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tweed – named Midnight Blue was launched

Edinburgh Tattoo has its specific exclusive design of Harris Tweed – with the motivation coming from Brigadier David Allfrey.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is just near to its 70th birthday that the International Festival and Fringe are celebrating next year in August. Tattoo fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tweed – named Midnight Blue was launched

As a new The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tweed – named Midnight Blue – was launched, Brigadier Allfrey recalled that when he took up the post, he anticipated the need for “a proper Producer’s coat” to protect him from the August chill and “be smart enough to wear in the Royal Gallery”.

He commissioned the Edinburgh tailoring firm, Walker Slater, to design and produce the coat which was so much admired that the idea of the Tattoo having its own bespoke Harris Tweed took hold.

Brigadier David Allfrey said I was captivated by the colors. The tweed seemed to embody the landscape, always in sight of the sea, the weather, the traditions and the dignity of Hebridean communities with their music and their craft.

After much suspicious work with Harris Tweed Hebrides in Shawbost and Walker Slater, we have come up with a special blend called Midnight Blue which contains flecks of gold, blue and red.

“These are the fine colors found in an islands’ sunset and also the crests of our Armed Forces and of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. It is a beautiful tweed, backed up with a great story and perfect practicality”

Brian Wilson, who heads Harris Tweed Hebrides, said: “This is a motivated collaboration between iconic Scottish brands. David Allfrey’s respect for the process and traditions behind Harris Tweed have made it a particular pleasure to work with him and his team.

“The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo continues to grow as a vast international event and this partnership can only benefit the profile of Harris Tweed, the weavers, mill-workers, and communities which depend upon it”.

Paul Walker, managing director of Walker Slater added: “With our flagship store on Victoria Street in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle - the great stage of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo – this was an accepted partnership for us.

We have truly enjoyed every minute of this project - from meeting David and designing his bespoke coat to working with Harris Tweed Hebrides on developing the design of the fabric.  We hope our customers enjoy the collection and its subtle beauty.
