This bold plaid pattern is rich in history. Tying Scotland to America: in the 1800s, Scotsman, Jock McCluskey settled in Montana and began trading his family clan's heavy woven tartan blankets to the Native Americans for buffalo pelts. Like many things that traversed the Atlantic, the tartan received a new moniker and became unmistakably American. Buffalo Check was born! This Red and black Black Bear Retreat - Bear & Tree Rectangular Pillow is a perfect match for your Buffalo Check bedding.
