(Do I need the brand name, “Woolrich”—does that add any neccesary detail?) I made some edits since reading it to you. Thanks for the title revision idea!

Buffalo Plaid

Made by Woolrich
Red and Black Buffalo plaid
original tartan of clan outdoors
heavy-duty thick wool
long-sleeved, extra large
in good condition.
Found in my basement
a week before the holidays.

Gone nearly 20 years now
I feel the ghost of him
coming in the back door
can still see him hanging
his wool shirt on the brass hook
at the top of the basement stairs
in from a pheasant hunt
or fishing for muskies
in early November.

I nuzzle my face
into the red and black
checkerboard of long ago
familiar dad-scent
still on the collar.
