things: tartan a.k.a. Plaid

circa: not exactly known

Tartan has been used for hundreds of centuries by Scottish and Celtic cultures. Tartan comes from the Irish tarsna - crosswise & Scottish Gaelic tarsuinn - across. However, another derivation may be from Old French tartaine - cloth, implying the introduction of checked woollen cloth in the early middle ages which simply became popular in the Highlands. Interesting, huh?

I chose to to write about this topic because I am weakened by a man in plaid. It is my kryptonite if worn appropriately, such as being clad in a Ralph Lauren Oxford as opposed to an entire short set. Here are a few presentable plaid ensembles, enjoy!

I have neglected this blog for too long. It has almost been two months since I have posted and I apologize to the little fanbase that I have. All I can say is LIFE. I'll bring it back by taking it back!
