The RI Tartan was created by the St.Andrews Society and debuted in time for the the millenium century change. The Rhode Island Tartan is officially registered with Lord Lyons' heraldic registry office in Scotland. The tartan was adopted as the official tartan for the State of Rhode Island in a unanimous vote by both Houses of the state legislature, and endorsed by the Governor.

The tartan may be made into kilts, sashes, ties, and kilted skirts. The sett of the RI Tartan is ©2000 St. Andrews Society of RI. As the tartan is sometimes worn as part of a uniform, the design may not be used in a manner that is disrespectful to the tartan (such as throw pillows, t-shirts, trinkets, sporrans or other crafts items which are not authorized and approved by the St. Andrews Society of Rhode Island).

The Rhode Island Tartan is only available through the
St. Andrews Society of Rhode Island.
