They were popular in the 80's, yes, but they originated in the 60's.
Madras is a lightweight cotton fabric with patterned texture, used primarily for summer clothing -- pants, shorts, dresses and jackets. The fabric takes its name from the former English name of the city of Chennai, India.
One style popular during the 1960s was called bleeding Madras. It used dyes that were not colorfast in a typically plaid design, resulting in bleeding and fading colors that yielded a new look to the fabric each time it was laundered.

Plaid shorts from the 80's ? Yes, if they are below the knee.
They look as though somebody just cut a pair of plaid pants.
But like history, fashion really does repeat!

Do you mean "plaid" shorts? Yes, they were popular in the 80s for everyone. Lots of yuppie influences. Always popular on the golf course.
