10.7 - Mad For Plaid

March is Mad for Plaid month. Plaid is a fabric woven with a crossed horizontal and vertical pattern in multiple colors. For this task it includes tartans, argyle, madras, gingham and checked patterns. Read a book with something plaid on the cover.

Would you call the yellowish jacket plaid? It looks like it has white vertical stripes and blue horizontal stripes, but I don't know if that qualifies it as a plaid.
