Buffalo check is two-colour plaid reduced to its studs: broad, even squares with a mid-tone where the colours cross. These nine keep that three-tone grammar at a classic lumber-shirt scale, an oversized blanket scale, and a muted, softened palette. Ask for forest green or slate instead of red and the same three scales carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each pattern is drawn as a seamless repeat at A3 proportions, so it tiles cleanly at any print size from A4 up to yardage.
Can I get a different colour instead of red and black?
Yes — name any two-colour combination, like forest green or slate blue, and the same three square scales render it.
What's the difference between the three styles?
Classic keeps the traditional lumber-shirt square size; oversized enlarges the check for blankets and upholstery; muted softens the palette for a quieter, more decorative read.
Is this a real textile weave or just a printed pattern?
Buffalo check is traditionally a woven plaid; this set renders it as a flat seamless print, so it's built for paper, packaging and digital surfaces rather than as a woven simulation.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
