houndstooth
Broken check pattern
Houndstooth is a textile pattern of broken checks resembling jagged teeth, typically in two contrasting colors like black and white.
The pattern is a classic in tailored clothing—jackets, coats, and skirts: a houndstooth blazer, houndstooth trousers.
Larger versions of the pattern are sometimes called hound's-tooth check.
