Houndstooth Jackets for Men

Houndstooth is the check pattern with teeth — a jagged, interlocking weave that adds visual bite without being as loud as tartan or windowpane. A Hockerty houndstooth jacket is cut to your measurements so the pattern aligns across seams and sits flat on your frame. Small-scale houndstooth reads as texture from a distance, making it nearly as versatile as a solid. Larger-scale houndstooth makes a bolder statement suited to smart-casual and creative settings. Available in wool and wool blends. Pick your colour, lapel, buttons, pockets and lining. Free shipping and a Perfect Fit Guarantee.

What is houndstooth?

Houndstooth is a duotone textile pattern of broken checks with pointed edges resembling a canine tooth. It is created during weaving by alternating groups of dark and light yarns in a twill pattern. The result is a bold geometric texture that has been a menswear staple since the 1800s, particularly in British tailoring.

Is houndstooth formal or casual?

Small-scale houndstooth (also called puppytooth) reads close to a solid from normal distance and works in business-casual and smart offices. Large-scale houndstooth is more visual and suits casual and creative settings. The pattern spans the formality range depending on scale, colour contrast and how you style it.

What colors work best for houndstooth jackets?

Classic black-and-white is the most recognizable combination. Gray-and-charcoal offers the same pattern with less contrast for a subtler look. Brown-and-cream suits autumn styling. Navy-and-grey works well for offices. The lower the contrast between the two colors, the more understated and versatile the jacket becomes.

How do I combine a houndstooth jacket with other patterns?

Pair it with solid trousers and a plain shirt for the safest approach. If mixing patterns, choose a different type and scale — a fine-striped shirt under a large houndstooth jacket works well. Avoid other check patterns underneath, as two check-based patterns at similar scale create visual confusion.
