When you roll up your sleeves, it’s the “fourth fold” that gets it above your elbow. Then you’re ready to work.

The Fourth Fold Tartan

The Fourth Fold tartan is a registered tartan created for Fourth Fold Construction, carrying on a tradition used not only by Scottish clans and families, but also by companies, organizations, and institutions. Its pattern was designed with symbolic meaning, reflecting the values behind the company: craftsmanship, trust, endurance, integrity, and a readiness to do hard work well.
