Legacy of Darkness is finally woven
I designed this tartan as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, and the darker visual language around that music.
A little of the symbolism is built directly into the sett: the 70-thread black field references Black Sabbath’s 1970 debut, while the 13-thread scarlet bars represent Ozzy’s 13 solo studio albums. Scarlet was chosen as the dominant accent because it gives the tartan the aggressive, high-contrast feel I wanted against the black and charcoal.
The finished cloth came back better than I hoped. The scarlet is aggressive, the black and grey have a ton of depth, and seeing it woven is completely different from looking at the digital design.
The first kilts are scheduled for early September. 🤘
