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 filling or weft woven in a simple 2:2 twill, two over – two under the warp, advancing one thread each pass.
Glen plaid (short for Glen Urquhart plaid) is a textile pattern that is similar to houndstooth, with alternating blocks of 2-on-2 and 4-on-4 coloring. Glen plaid is also known as the Prince of Wales check, which has an over-check in a bright or contrasting color. The pattern was popularized by Edward VIII when he was the Prince of Wales. The pattern made a frequent appearance on fabrics designed in the 1930s through to the 1970s.
The Australian department store David Jones uses a houndstooth pattern as part of its corporate logo. The branding — a black-on-white houndstooth pattern — is one of the most recognized corporate identities in Australia. A government sponsored panel judged it in 2006 as one of Australia’s top ten favorite trade marks. The origin of this motif owes itself to the insistence of its founder on not using the store’s name on its packaging. His aim was that the store would be so well known that everyone should recognize it simply by this now-famous motif.
