I've been researching Canadian-made apparel, and stumbled upon this 100% Merino Wool scarf from Red Canoe in the Province of Ontario official tartan.

From the Red Canoe website:

"National Heritage Brands 100% Merino Wool Tartan Scarves are proudly woven and manufactured in Canada. Each province in Canada has its own unique tartan that is a classic statement of our proud heritage.

Ontario

Ontario got its name from the Iroquois word, "Kanadario" meaning, "sparkling water." One sixth of the province is covered by pure, freshwater lakes and rivers – 177 390 km2! This is the most populated province in Canada with over 10 million people. Ontario’s capital Toronto is the largest city in Canada and a major industrial center.

Other provinces are available too, I am especially fond of Newfoundland (sans Labrador):
