Houndstooth fabric is a distinctive patterned textile characterized by its broken, abstract check design resembling a dog's tooth. Traditionally woven from wool in a twill weave, it features a two-tone color scheme—most commonly black and white—though modern variations include multiple colors and fabric blends.
Known for its bold, classic style, houndstooth is widely used in suits, coats, skirts, dresses, and accessories, adding a timeless yet dynamic look to both formal and casual fashion.
