Overview:
This elegant wool worsted micro houndstooth is a refined classic with a quietly powerful presence. Woven from fine wool yarns, it offers timeless tailoring appeal with a rich, dark palette that feels confident, versatile and endlessly wearable, ideal for both sharp suiting and softer, heritage-inspired garments.
Specifications:
Weight: Light / Medium
GSM: 197
Composition: 100% Wool
Width: 158cm / 62.2inch
Colour:
Shades: A palette of rich, dark red-based brown mahogany yarns is woven alongside jet black to create a deep, self-assured colourway.
Design: A classic micro houndstooth weave, named for the staggered twill micro-checks that resemble dogs’ teeth.
Overall: A timeless, high-quality wool worsted that lends itself beautifully to a wide range of apparel, from dresses and skirts to sharp suits and tailored jackets.
Properties:
Texture: Superfine and closely woven, with a lightly grained, almost smooth surface. Gently warm and reassuring, showcasing the refinement of a fine woollen fabric.
Handle: Stable both width and lengthwise, with a slight natural bias ease that supports precise cutting and confident tailoring.
Drape: A sartorially elegant medium-weight drape that falls cleanly from the body, ideal for structured yet fluid silhouettes.
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 modern 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 motifs like Scottie dogs, teddy bears and dachshund draught excluders.
