- 2004 — Leitrem County Crest (Fashion) (tartans-authority, record)
This tartan is part of the 'County Crest' range of Irish tartans originally designed by Viking Technology and woven by Marton Mills in 2004. The range of tartans - the ownership and copyright of which were transferred to USA Kilts Inc. in 2012 - are based on the colours found in each of the 32 Irish County crests. This tartan may not be reproduced in any form without the express written consent of USA Kilts Inc. - undated — Leitrem County, Crest Range (register-of-tartans, record)
This and the other Irish county crest range appear to be a partnership between Viking Technology of Glasgow and Marton Mills of Yorkshire. Despite advice sought by Viking Technology, these were named as the County Crest Range although the name causes confusion with the pre-existing and long-established Irish county range produced in 1996 by The House of Edgar. The names of the Viking Technology/Marton Mills range have, for the purposes of this database and to avoid such confusion, been altered to the county name with the suffix of 'Crest.'
