Hibs Tartan Scarf

**hibbymikey** · 13-10-2014 02:59 AM

What trials and challenges must I face, what Crackens or Titans must I fight to get my hands on one of the lambswool Tartan Scarfs...rivalled only by the golden fleece in terms of their rarity.

Gone from the clubstore, does anyone know which end of the earth I have to travel to to get my hands on one (preferably two, Otherwise the old man will be getting another pair of socks for his christmas, or worse I could get him a season ticket for next year.)

Seems pricey,

Yeah. £34 for an inferior looking one compare to the £15 lambswool one that the club had in is awfully steep. I just do not understand the club not stocking these anymore...

I forgot a wanted one of these... goddamn !

I tried to get one in the Club store last Christmas and was told the club won't stock them until the wholesaler reduces the price to what the club considers reasonable.

Don't know if some company has the design rights on Hibs Tartan, maybe we have got our own Mike Ashley problem out there.

Still got my one from day one when they first came out, wasn't 34 bloomin quid though!

***Bostonhibby*** · 13-10-2014 09:25 AM

Got a lambswool one from when they first came out, got a made in Scotland lable but no maker info!

Also got the other one from day 1 its got the hibees collection on the lable but no more info. Both came from the clubstore. The quality of both aint bad, the non lambswool one has held up well as I wear it a lot.

***Keith_M*** · 13-10-2014 10:05 AM

I used to have one of the Tartan scarves as well but it was rather unfortunately ruined in the Wash

Are Hibs still in charge of the Clubstore or has this been outsourced as well?

It's always difficult to get the balance right for what the 'Customer' would want to buy, I suppose, but it's been a few years since I've gone in there and saw something I really thought I 'must have'. The last item of clothing I bought was a gray Cotton T-Shirt with dark green sleeves with Hibernian and the Club Badge on the front in US College style. I still wear it regularly and think it's the Boll*x.

Does anyone know where to get one?

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 16-10-2014 11:49 PM

Just type in something like 'green tartan scarf' on e-bay. I just did, and there's a really nice one called heritage of Ireland. Scottish wool, for £11.99

There is a kilt outfitters near the top of Easter Road who had the only licence to make/supply Hibs Tartan Kilts. Sure they would be able to knock up a few scarfs. [Kilt shop almost opposite the chippy, sorry can't recall their name.]

**Aaron** · 17-10-2014 11:25 AM

There was a thread on here about a year ago. We lost the rights to the tartan. Maybe that's why?

The very one.

***cocopops1875*** · 17-10-2014 02:31 PM

It was McCalls who had the rights to the Hibs Tartan, never Bowdens to my Knowledge

That was my understanding as well.

**GreenCastle** · 17-10-2014 02:36 PM

Love the Hibs tartan

So Hibs don't have the rights to it anymore ?

Bowdens did stock a wide range of Hibs tartan attire though.

Not the tartan one but this could be a nice but pricey alternative

I looked at this last year and by the time I decided to buy it they had sold out.
Might have to start dropping hints to the Mrs in time for Christmas!

There was another cashmere one posted on here last year, think it may have been designed by one of our posters, that had black in it as well. Wish I could find the thread as it was a beauty.

Hopefully that works, is this the 1?

**Steve-O** · 18-10-2014 08:13 AM

So we don't even have the rights to our own club tartan?

On a funny note - there is a Fijian-Indian woman who resides in Wellington who wears the Hibs tartan scarf regulary! A former colleague of mine who asked me to get her a tartan scarf when I came back to Scotland for a holiday, so obviously I got her the Hibs one. 15 quid IIRC, was back in 2010 though.

I managed to get my hands on one of those, it's a great scarf

**LancashireHibby** · 18-10-2014 01:20 PM

Would happily pay good money for one, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Another one for Leann's list!

**OsloHibs** · 19-10-2014 07:34 PM

Hibs can't make them anymore due to the deal with Nike... This is what I was told by staff in the shop last winter. I got a green tartan scarf on Ebay and it was alright actually, but would prefer the Hibs one. If they have them anywhere- please let me know.
