HOUNDSTOOTH, HOUNDS TOOTH
CHECK OR HOUND’S TOOTH
(AND SIMILAR SPELLINGS),
ALSO KNOWN AS DOGSTOOTH,
DOGTOOTH OR DOG’S TOOTH, IS
A DUOTONE TEXTILE PATTERN
CHARACTERIZED BY BROKEN
CHECKS OR ABSTRACT FOUR-
POINTED SHAPES, OFTEN IN
BLACK AND WHITE, ALTHOUGH
OTHER COLOURS ARE USED.
THE CLASSIC HOUNDSTOOTH
PATTERN IS AN EXAMPLE OF A
TESSELLATION.
A GIRL SHOULD BE TWO
THINGS: CLASSY AND
FABULOUS.
A smaller scale version of the
pattern can be referred to
as puppytooth. Houndstooth
checks originated in woven wool
cloth of the Scottish Lowlands,
but are now used in many
other materials. The traditional
houndstooth check is made with
alternating bands of four dark
and four light threads in both
warp and weft/filling woven in
a simple 2:2 twill, two over/two
under the warp, advancing one
thread each pass. In an early
reference to houndstooth, De
Pinna, a New York City–based
men’s and women’s high-end
clothier founded in 1885,
included houndstooth checks
along with gun club checks
and Scotch plaids as part of
its 1933 spring men’s suits
collection.
