Colour:
Shades: Granite Check features a timeless palette of smoke grey and classic black, creating a crisp, understated monochrome suitable for both modern and heritage-inspired designs.
Design: A classic micro houndstooth weave, also known as puppytooth, formed through staggered twill checks that add subtle visual texture.
Overall: Style-wise, this fabric leans slightly rugged yet remains refined, perfect for tailored pieces that require both resilience and sartorial appeal.
Properties:
Texture: A hardwearing wool puppytooth with a softly brushed grain, giving a refined yet robust suiting surface.
Handle: Stable in both width and lengthwise with a gentle, natural bias ease, making it reliable and easy to work with.
Drape: When pleated, gathered or used at length, this fabric achieves a soft, controlled drape that holds structure without stiffness.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for classic suiting garments, think tailored separates, blazers, wide-legged trousers and skirt suits. Also well suited to retro-inspired designs and vintage-style pieces with a contemporary edge.
Patterns: Some of our favourite patterns to consider are the Cordelia Trousers, the Ilford Jacket, the Amelia Skirt, The Coat, The Blazer, or the Jemima Waistcoat for a modern heritage twist.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Ideal for timeless, structured accessories such as tote bags, shoulder bags, laptop sleeves, belts, caps and hats. The sharp micro-check adds graphic interest while remaining refined and understated.
Furnishings: While primarily a garment fabric, this wool also works beautifully for tailored home accents. Consider cushion covers, boxed-edge seat pads, blind trims and draught excluders, perfect where a crisp, uniform-inspired aesthetic is desired.
Upcycling: Excellent for scrap-friendly projects such as appliqué, patchwork or textile art. Offcuts can become contrast panels in garments or be transformed into characterful soft furnishings, fabric trays, coasters, or classic novelty motifs like Scottie dogs, teddy bears and dachshund draught excluders.
