District Checks
DISTRICT CHECKS
A term applied to bold distinctive woollen checks made at Inverness, Keith and other districts in Scotland. The patterns were such as shepherd, gun-club, Glenurquhart and others. The original cloth was made of Sutherland cheviot in 2 & 2 twill weave, but woollen blends soon became usual. They were first designed for the big landowners for livery purposes, but later on merchants bought them for general use.
