- 01/01/2005 — Fitzsimmons (register-of-tartans, record)
Designed by Mark Simmons and Jeffrey Fitzsimmons for those of native or descendant Irish blood bearing the name Fitzsimmons (Fitsimons, Simons, Simmons, MacSimoin and all spelling variations) to instil pride in Irish heritage, but also in remembrance of those of the surname who fought to repel the many invasions of Ireland. Additionally this tartan honours those of the surname who died during the Great Famine. The colours tan, dark tan, dark green and olive green are said to represent the land of Ireland and the black is for those who died in the Great Famine. Woven by DC Dalgleish of Selkirk. - August 2007 — Fitzsimmons Hunting (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
A hunting variation of the Fitzsimmons tartan at 6808. The woven sample is very much more muted than this. The House of Edgar has express permission from Jeffrey Fitzsimmons to weave this and any other Fitzsimmons' tartans.
