What would you call this fabric?

[jrd617]

Micro houndsooth with giant check accents?

 

[apropos]

Two and two with windowpane.

The "giant check accents' are called windowpane check.

 

[Melcombe]

Rather nice.

Isn't that weave 'saxony'?

 

[apropos]

Quite sure saxony was once used to refer to a type of wool fibre (as in 'saxony wool'), not the weave.

+1 for two and two windowpane

I believe what you're thinking of is Saxxon wool, the high end wool offered at Brooks Brothers (they own rights to all the flocks that remain).

Is that a Corneliani? I think I have that SC.

I guess a houndstooth with "windowpane" accent colors?
