Gingham Fabric

Gingham fabric is balanced plain-woven fabric. In a check, stripe or plaid pattern.

Small Check Gingham

Small Gingham, the smartest and most traditional of the three varieties and widely known as the school uniform Gingham. The small squares in the check pattern measure just an 8th of an inch. As with all traditional gingham, one coloured and one white yarn is used to create the pattern, resulting in a third tone just slightly lighter than the main colour. The smart look of this small gingham is ideal for workwear as well as schoolwear. The taut structure of the fabric can be worked into neat tailoring for mens and ladies shirts.
