Designed by Blair Urquhart of House of Tartan based on a design by Clint McInnes of Timely Marketing Promotions, Christchurch, New Zealand. The design and copyright is owned by CJ & PJ McInnes (for Timely Marketing & Promotions Limited), PO Box 28168, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Designed as a District sett by Clinton John MacInnes of Timely Marketing Promotions, Christchurch, New Zealand. Without proof of official acceptance as the New Zealand Tartan this has to be regarded as a fashion tartan. Much argument in NZ surrounds this tartan and #5790 which the STA has accepted as being 'official' because of the NZ Prime Minister's apparent seal of approval. Timely Marketing insist that such approval was unofficial and that the pre-existance of its NZ tartan shown here, qualifies it as the official NZ tartan. The STA is hoping for some documentary evidence to help make a decision.
