Checks

About Checks

Checks fabric by the metre in styles from classic to bold. Choose from cotton linen checks in many colours, yarn dyed cotton checks, woven shirting checks, boucle and tweed checks for jackets, and festive options like zari and sequin checks. Checks are timeless for shirts, kurtas, co-ord sets, dresses, skirts, blazers and jackets. Buy any length by the metre, or contact us for bulk orders.

Frequently asked questions

What does yarn dyed mean?
Yarn dyed fabric is woven from already-coloured yarns, so the check pattern goes right through the fabric and lasts longer than a print.

Which checks fabric is best for shirts?
Cotton linen checks and yarn dyed cotton checks are breathable and comfortable for shirts and kurtas.

Which checks fabric works for jackets?
Tweed and boucle checks are thicker and hold their shape, so they suit jackets, blazers and skirts.

How do I match checks when stitching?
Buy a little extra length, about 10 to 15 percent, so the tailor can line up the checks at the seams.
