Red Buffalo Check

About This Item

Red buffalo check runs across this DipaliZ relaxed-fit knitted crew sweater. Buffalo check is a large two-color plaid of even squares, and here it is knitted into the body rather than printed on it. The knit is 55% cotton and 45% polyester, in nine sizes from 3XS to 3XL. The plaid carries no seasonal motif, so the sweater is not tied to a particular holiday. Sizes and materials here are taken from this product's own specification.

The story behind this design

Buffalo check earns its name from a nineteenth-century American mill pattern, and its strength has always been scale: the squares are big enough that you read the grid before you read the color. Knitting it rather than weaving it softens every edge, so the lines blur slightly where the two colors meet and the plaid loses the hard graphic snap of a flannel shirt. That blur is the reason it works on a sweater at all.
