What's That Fabric? Glen Plaid

Friday, September 11, 2009
Glen plaid is a twill woven pattern of small and large checks that form a sort of plaid-within-plaid pattern. It is usually made of tropical weight wool.

Glen plaid is one of those classic patterns that is always in fashion. The pattern is subtle enough to become a neutral and can be mixed with solids or prints.
