CARNASSIA

Carnassia is the taxonomic term given to the interlocking tooth pattern found in carnivorous mammals, an evolutionary trait allowing the animals to shear skin from bone with minimal effort and maximal efficiency. The bold, jagged lines in this shaggy wool plaid feel prehistoric, primordial – like the fossilized remains of a once-indomitable predator. The danger has vanished, but through the relic reverberates the fearsome capabilities of nature.
