Its a classic, usually black and white, pattern. Its usually in a tweed fabric, but its showing up more and more even in home decorating. Here's some examples... http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=houndstooth&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2

It is a small check pattern with somewhat sharp edges reminding one of teeth, not the typical square checks. the Prince of Wales said a houndstooth tie was for weddings in the 1930's. I have a pair of black & white houndstooth check pants someone gave me for Xmas. I woudn't buy them myself, and I rarely wear them.
