Pied de poule & co: mix & match!

Even the historians of the costume actually question about the exact origin of this pattern, which however seems to be located in Scotland around 1800, originally worn by shepherds as an external accessory of woolen fabric. According to “The Costume of Scotland” by John Telfer Dunbar, it was originally made of a woven woolen cloth. We must arrive to 1930 when the design is also noticed by the wealthy social classes and used as a symbol of wealth and elegance, to stand out from the crowd.

The particular effect of this fabric is obtained with a precise order of colors in the threads of the weft and the warp: in fact, groups of 4 black-colored and 4 white-colored threads are alternated.

The evolution of fashion makes us get to today, where the classic black and white version is taken by the designers and adapted to bags, clothes, coats and shoes! But there are also different shades and colors with which to have fun, like those of the Circolo 1901 jackets, proposed in warm and enveloping colors.

In short, there is no doubt that over the years the houndstooth has become a real trend, exploded in the ’60s following the affirmation of Optical Art. Fashion can not but take inspiration, creating clothes with textures from the effect dimensional.
