A president's standard made of the national arms in a white
rectangle placed in a blue field was reported in the 50's. The
standard might have been used on the president's yacht
Sans-Soucis.

A presidential flag was adopted under Paul Magloire (1951-56),
but later disappeared.
Jaume Ollé, 18 January 1998
From a paper published in Franciae Vexilla (#22/98, June 2001)
- The standard of President Magloire (December 1950 - 22 October
1956) have an orange fringe. The standard is similar in design to
the putative army rank flags, a red
field with two stars standing for Malgoire's rank.

I've seen the Haiti Presidential Sash here in this Bicentennial website.
Caption of the picture reads: Thabo Mbeki, President of South
Africa, is the only Head of State to visit Haiti in its
bicentennial.
The Sash shows the same colors of the Haiti flag, blue and red
diagonally displayed from top right shoulder downwards.

On the newspaper El
Colombiano on the May 15, 2006 issue, there is a photograph of René
Preval, elected President of Haiti back then. The CoA is added,
touching the blue edge but not the red one. Oddly enough, it
seems it is worn upside down.
