Variations

Buffalo check or plaid buffalo has a black hash with a red background. In the United States, this name was obtained around 1850 when a designer at Woolrich's factory in Chatham's Run in Pennsylvania (who owned a herd of buffalo) copied a pattern known as "Rob Roy" in Scotland. "No. 5310-402 in Woolrich's middle-class fabric collection" became associated with tree cutter because those nearby in the woods of Pennsylvania were the primary customers for woolen shirts that use them. It became popular in mainstream fashion in the United States in the 90s and 2010s.

Other uses

Check patterns are also used in many fields other than textile styles, for example: on boards used by Medieval Exaequer to perform financial calculations, and on boards used for playing chess and chess, and on the emblem.

Check patterns have a number of symbolic meanings. In auto racing, a checkered flag is displayed at the finish line to signal that the race has been completed. It comes from "checkers" who supervise the finish line and checked when the car finished the race. They started using checkered flags to identify themselves.

In some countries, the check pattern has become a police symbol. Known as "Sillitoe Tartan", it was first used in Glasgow in the 1930s and was inspired by the patterns used by some Scottish army regiments. This symbol is used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and some cities in the United States (especially Chicago).
