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 smaller scale version of the pattern can be referred to as puppytooth.〔(''The Independent'', Nov 2 2009, Frankel, Susannah. "Ready to Wear: Houndstooth is fierce, and signifies power over and above prettiness". London. )〕〔(Charles Tyrwhitt, London webpage on Dogtooth )〕 ==Design and history== Houndstooth checks originated in woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands,〔Dunbar, John Telfer: ''The Costume of Scotland'', London: Batsford, 1984, ISBN 0-7134-2534-2, 1984 (paperback 1989, ISBN 0-7134-2535-0)〕 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. Oversized houndstooth patterns where also employed prominently at Alexander McQueen's Fall 2009 Collection, entitled ''Horn of Plenty''. The patterns were a reference to Christian Dior's signature tweed suits.
