Tartan and plaid patterns originate in the woven wool textiles of the Scottish Highlands, where specific colour combinations identified clans -- though the strict clan-tartan system was largely a 19th-century invention. In the 20th century, plaid became a pattern of rebellion: worn by British punks in the 1970s, by grunge musicians in the 1990s, by skateboarders throughout. The minimalist version strips out the history and leaves the geometry: a clean grid that works in any space. Printed in gallery-quality UV ink on Grade-A Canadian maple. About this deck
