Houndstooth fabric is usually more used for trousers or long coats. Using it in a bomber jacket gives a modern twist to the classic fabric. In this black and white bomber jacket we used two fabrics so this fashionable piece becomes asymmetrical. On one side there is a regular houndstooth pattern, on the other side there is a houndstooth in a tartan pattern. The contrasting fabrics creates an edgy but still chic look. The cuffs and finishings are black, in a soft cotton mix.
If you are looking for a relaxed feel but like some elegance in a cool bomber jacket, this is the fashionable piece you are looking for.

History of houndstooth fabric
The black and white abstract checkerboard pattern with a vague resemblance to a chicken-foot print known in French as the pied de poule and in English as houndstooth, first appeared in the 1800s in the Scottish lowlands. Then, it was called Shepherd’s check or Dogtooth, and was mostly used on woven wool cloth outerwear for sheepherders. Today, the duo-tone pattern can be found on everything from tweed jackets to designer stiletto heels. From 1959 Christian Dior began incorporating the pattern into his designs. Rather than weaving the pattern, as was the style of the British, Dior and subsequent designers, including Louis Vuitton and Chanel, would instead print the distinctive shapes onto fabric for their women’s wear collections.
