I hate plaid
I would fuck Buffalo, Black Watch and vanilla. Marry Glen check. Kill the rest. Dig up tattersall and burn the corpse.
Is your family of the original order of the black watch? Do you get a sword or some kind of magical talisman?
Yes and yes
Its a shame that I personally do not love Black Watch enough because the name is sick
Plaid is great and i want more of it in my life
Specifically outerwear, maybe pants
I have to admit im torn on plaid shirts
Feels more like an outerwear thing to me
Flannels can be nice though
Hand me the shovel!
Flannel tartan is iconic: https://www.thisoldhouse.com/this-old-house/21019361/the-tartans-of-norm

The Tartans of Norm
The TOH master carpenter became a reluctant plaid ambassador when show creator Russ Morash made it Norm’s on-air signature. Below, some of his classics
Is ombre a distinct pattern like the ones in the image or is it just a variation on Buffalo check?
Its wild that family tartans are just.. completely made up after the fact, and everyone just went with it
Anyway buffalo check rules blackwatch rules, haters vacate
No hate, I'm saying I would make sweet love to black watch and buffalo.
ohhh, same
I have owned at least one buffalo check shirt at all times since ~1995 👴
Undercover my plaid goat
Plaid is great. Personally haven't found a way to wear it yet - before I was into fashion I only wore slim plaid flannels and I haven't shaken that association
For me plaid is a staple, but I can’t help but associate it with uninspiring outfits despite the cool patterns so I’ve given it a break recently. But I particularly love when it’s used as one layer of several
Recently I’ve been inspired by some people I randomly saw mixing plaid flannels with other patterns. I don’t think they were giving it any thought but I enjoyed the clash
i wish i liked houndstooth more also i didn’t know it counted
that runway look is insane
