pincheck

Small woven checks

Pincheck is a fabric pattern of very small checks, typically woven in two colors.

The checks are barely larger than pinheads, creating a subtle texture that reads almost as solid from a distance.

Pincheck appears most often in dress shirts and suiting: a gray pincheck suit, pincheck cotton.
