Patterns & Prints
Herringbone is a woven pattern of short, parallel lines that reverse direction in alternating columns, forming a repeating V or zigzag that resembles a fish skeleton. Subtle and textured rather than bold, it's a staple of suiting, overcoats, and tweed jackets, reading as classic, understated, and slightly more interesting than a plain weave.
It's a variation of the twill weave, where the diagonal reverses at regular intervals to create the broken zigzag. From a distance it looks like a solid with depth; up close the directional texture shows.
Herringbone shares its woven, heritage character with houndstooth and tweed, anchoring old money and tailored wardrobes.
