I often come across Simtex plaids that are not Russel Wright designs, so it is nice to find one that is certainly by Wright. Not so long ago I had the opportunity to sit down with a Russel Wright textile collector­—one of the few true experts in this highly specialized field of knowledge­—to discuss the book he is writing on this very subject. I won't give up any surprises, but will leave you with my opinion that it will be a "must have" for any Russel Wright collector or enthusiast. His findings have to this point been spectacular.

Found on April 23, 2005 in Minneapolis, MN.
