Prince of Wales check

As one might guess, the Prince of Wales check, also known as Glencheck or Glenurquhart check, has royal heritage. It is widely believed that this fabric got its name from the elegantly dressed Duke of Windsor when he was known as the Prince of Wales. The check is defined by large squares with alternating patterns of smaller squares. The panels can be “solid” or embellished with colorful threads that define the pattern and bring the fabric's look and style to life. It is one of the most versatile and easy-to-wear check patterns, perfect for loose suits and tailored winter coats. The magic of this fabric lies in the contrasting check, which allows for harmonizing colors with other styling elements.
