black and white houndstooth
I have been away from these boards for awhile due to business and illness, but am happy to see its topics/posts continue to grow, and that the same core of opinionated, but informative members remain.
May I ask if the above mentioned pattern is still considered a classic pattern for sportcoats? If so, do any members include it as part of their clothing rotation?

Re: black and white houndstooth
I thought the "shepherd's check" was more similar to gingham, except in tweed-y earthtones and a couple more colors than standard gingham
But I also like houndstooth a lot. I've seen some great houndstooth jackets and trousers (not worn together of course) that would add a nice splash to any closet

Re: black and white houndstooth
Here's H&S's example of Shepherd's check:

here's houndstooth, though the accuracy of this souce might be questionable:

I don't see much difference, do you?
H & S has a nice little guide to others here:

Re: black and white houndstooth
I have one in a dormeuil cashmere worsted mini houndstooth. It's relatively lightweight and can do double duty. With a blue shirt, black and blue or dark red background tie and charcoal flannel trousers and brown suede shoes it's very 1930s apparel arts, with a black turtleneck and black gabardine pants and black suede lace ups (or loafers), it's hip.
