Houndstooth Jacquard Knit Fabric for Apparel Production

Product Description

Houndstooth check jersey jacquard knit fabric is a double-sided jacquard knit built on a polyester-viscose-spandex blend, carrying the classic houndstooth check with a raised 3D surface effect. It is bought mainly by fashion and apparel manufacturers, garment fabric wholesalers, and brands developing structured outerwear and tailored separates.

MH supplies this fabric through its knitted fabric sourcing program, working with jacquard knitting mills to reproduce the check at different scales and color pairings. The pattern itself, the color combination, and the fabric thickness can all be adjusted for a buyer's collection instead of being limited to the standard versions.

The blend runs Polyester / Viscose / Spandex 83/15/2 at 165cm usable width and 280gsm, giving a medium-heavy hand with comfortable stretch and recovery. Standard color pairings are black/white and brown/black houndstooth; other colorways are dyed to order. Goods are supplied roll-packed for cutting-room handling.

Features

• Double-sided jacquard construction — the check reads cleanly on both faces, so cut panels, facings and reversible styling need no extra lining to look finished.
• Classic houndstooth with 3D effect — the raised pattern texture keeps the check visible in dark colorways where flat printed checks tend to disappear.
• 165cm usable width — a wide cut that lays out coat and trouser panels with less waste than narrow-width suiting.
• 280gsm medium-heavy weight — enough body to hold a tailored shape while staying comfortable for full garments rather than trims only.
• Spandex content for stretch and recovery — the fabric moves with the wearer and returns to shape, which suits fitted dresses and pants as well as outerwear.
• Yarn-dyed check rather than surface print — the pattern is formed in the knit structure, so it does not crack, fade or wash off at the surface.

Application

• Outerwear production — Used by coat and jacket manufacturers for structured coats, capes, and mid-weight overcoats where the check carries the whole design.
• Tailored apparel — Sourced by suit and trouser makers for pants, blazers, skirts and coordinated separates that need shape retention with stretch comfort.
• Womenswear and dresses — Popular with fashion brands and garment suppliers producing fitted dresses, pinafores and layered autumn-winter styles.
• Fabric distribution — Supplied to garment fabric wholesalers and textile distributors serving apparel factories in seasonal check programs.
• Fashion accessories — A regular pick for accessory suppliers producing bags, caps and matching accessory pieces alongside apparel collections.
• Interior soft furnishings — Common among home textile buyers, who use it for drapes, roman blinds and upholstered detailing that follow apparel check trends.

Customization Service

• Pattern scale — the houndstooth check can be enlarged or reduced so the same design language works across coats, dresses and accessories.
• Color development — two-tone combinations are dyed to order and matched to buyer references beyond the standard black/white and brown/black versions.
• Fabric weight and thickness — heavier or lighter constructions can be developed for different seasons and garment categories.
• Composition adjustment — the polyester, viscose and spandex ratio can be shifted where a buyer needs more drape, more recovery, or a firmer hand.
• Width and packing — roll length, width and packing format can be arranged to match cutting-room and shipping requirements.
