glen plaid
Scottish check design
Glen plaid is a woven pattern of small checks combined into larger blocks, typically in muted colors like gray, black, and white.
Originally associated with Scottish clan tartans, it became a staple of traditional menswear: a glen plaid suit, glen plaid trousers.
Also called glen check or Prince of Wales check.
