History

Plaid Jacket started as a piece of lucky real estate that turned into a weed business. Matt Abbey and his brother-in-law, Chad Roraback, who had been in the real estate investment and construction business together for 16 years, a partners, and John Cox, an electrical engineer who is referred to as the “brains of the operation,” formed the company.

Plaid Jacket came into existence in the Washington cannabis community as a processing company, and was started by a team of passionate cannabis enthusiasts who wanted to change the definition of quality in the industry. The brand was established in the early 2020s on the concepts of quality over quantity, taking diverse experiences and backgrounds of the founders into consideration, namely, engineering, bioscience, and skilled cultivation. Plaid Jacket was regarded early on and had its state-of-the-art facility fully established in Tumwater, WA, which used high-tech equipment with a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to take care of the plant accurately. This technological advantage enabled them to have an equilibrium in terms of science and art in the production of cannabis, unlike the rest of the competitors.

The history of the company is characterized by prioritizing production, but more specifically to the extraction and processing such as hydrocarbon of live resin and ice water hash which soon became synonymous and known to be pure and high in potency. Plaid Jacket has found the ability to grow using a seed vault and R&D department to grow into full cultivation, with unique genetic crosses and small-batch releases. Major milestones were opening their main line of business, worldwide known as Melted Diamonds + HTE, with a product that contributed to an increase in THC-forward products, and introducing all-flower pre-rolls with no trim, with an ideal focus on hand-crafted quality. In 2023, publications stressed how they had gone beyond being a processor and into a full-fledged brand of craft, including highly detailed processing and an emphasis on doing as little to the produce as possible between harvest and retail in a bid to maintain freshness.
