Houndstooth Fabrics Classic Pattern Fabric UK Supplier

Houndstooth fabrics are classic woven textiles characterized by their distinctive two-tone broken check pattern, which resembles the jagged back teeth of a dog—hence the name houndstooth. The pattern is created by alternating bands of four dark and four light threads in both warp and weft, woven in a simple twill weave that produces the signature pointed, tessellated checks. Traditionally, houndstooth is woven in black and white wool, but modern variations use a variety of fibers, including cotton, polyester, and blends, and come in many color combinations. The fabric is medium to heavy weight, durable, and has a crisp, tailored appearance. Its bold, graphic pattern gives garments and accessories a timeless yet eye-catching style.
