- September 1997 — Hawaii (District) (tartans-authority, record)
- undated — Hawaiian American District Tartan Tartan Number: 5163. Earliest known date: September 1997 Designed in 1997 by Douglas Herring on O'ahu, a member of the Hawaiian Handweavers Hui. It was the winning entry in a contest run by The Caledonian Society of Hawaii to select the State Tartan. Although this beautiful design has yet to be recognized by the Hawaiian state, it is registered in Scotland. Red and yellow symbolise the Monarchy and the fire and lava from which the Hawaiian Islands arise. Brown - the soil. Green - the plant life. Blue - the sky and deep ocean.
