- 1997 — New Mexico (Fashion) (tartans-authority, record)
"Designed by Polly Wittering of House of Edgar for Mimi Stewart of New Mexico. The original notes said that this was likely to be accepted as the 'official' tartan for the State but that turned out not to be the case and Ralph Stevenson's #2522 now seems to be regarded as such despite not attracting official state legislature approval. Greens lightened to show sett. Exclusive supplier said to be Kathy Lare of Albuquerque, New Mexico at www.kathyskilts.com - 01/08/1998 — New Mexico: Land of Enchantment (register-of-tartans, record)
Commissioned by Kathy Lare, Chair of the St Andrews Society of New Mexico, in June 1997. Not formally adopted by the New Mexico State Legislature.
