Just out of curiousity, what did it cost you, time and treasure all told?
John,
This took years of careful thought and design. It all came together in the past two years with much appreciated help from Matt Newsome, who led me in the right direction to get this tartan woven and then recorded in the ITI. The monetary cost is a private matter but it's been worth every dollar spent; I have at least two other tartans I intend to have woven and recorded later this year. The first is a variation of the Fitzsimmons tartan while the second will be a "universal" tartan for all to wear.
The STA has recently updated it's site and the Fitzsimmons Tartan is now online.

Thank you! The .gif image at the STA site is off as far as color goes but that's because of the software used to generate the image. Look here for a better view if you like:
That is a great looking tartan. The colors are awesome, and the fact that you designed it yourself to celebrate your heritage is going to make wearing any item made in this tartan very special indeed.
