Plaid trousers - I think that's more UK than anywhere, and we have more taste, so less likely to wear them.

Sometimes people who work in restaurant kitchesn wear black and white checked trausers. Plaid would not be the best term for the pattern on those pants.

Not really. Tartan is sometimes checkered, but refers specifically to patterns on Scottish kilts and the like.
