I saw someone wearing a flannel shirt with a [buffalo block](https://www.amazon.com/Rothcos-Buffalo-Plaid-Flannel-Medium/dp/B000IN9MNU) pattern, except this one was visually striking because the blocks were HUGE, probably around 6" squares instead of the usual inch or two. The scale was similar to [this one](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/2725/4068/products/Yukon-wool-shirt-jac-red-valley-plaid-4_2000x.jpg?v=1644198926), but in the classic two-color pattern. I like visually striking but my usually amazing google-fu is coming up with nothing on it - I’m looking for a brand, if possible. Had I known it would be so hard to find, I should have chased after the guy. ---

Try Joann’s, under customizable fabric. Type ‘red and black buffalo plaid’ in the search bar. They offered me 277 choices. ---

Are finished shirts an option there? Guess I should have been more clear I’m looking for shirts, not yardage. And not red/black. Flannel fabric doesn’t even seem to be an option, but at least the print-on-demand tech has advanced to the point they can do it on cottons. Used to be it was just dye sublimation, which only worked on polyester. ---

No, finished shirts aren’t sold by Joanns. You can choose other color combinations. An average home sewer could sew you a shirt. The extra yardage to match plaid would be tricky to calculate. ---

Those two are bigger than usual, but still smaller than my target. The pattern squares were bigger than the pockets.
