This is an early 20th-century handwoven cotton textile, dating to the Republic of China period.
Spun and woven entirely by hand, likely by women working on household looms, this fabric reflects the material reality of its time rather than modern industrial standards. The plaid structure is irregular, with naturally varied yarn tension and a slightly open weave visible when held against the light—hallmarks of historical handwoven cotton.
This textile was not produced for mass garment manufacturing. Today, it is best suited for archival collection, textile study, or concept-driven design work that values material history and authenticity.
