shepherd's check

Or a shepherd's check is all right.

A shepherd's check is all right ... He was overcome by despair and guilt.

He wore an immaculate navy suit, a white shirt, a shepherd's check necktie, and no raincoat.

More conventional woven patterns range from crisply formal black-and-white glen plaids and shepherd's checks, appropriate for weddings, to colorful tartan twills of a type that might be worn with a blazer.

He wore rather baggy gray shepherd's check trousers, a not over-clean black frock-coat, unbuttoned in the front, and a drab waistcoat with a heavy brassy Albert chain, and a square pierced bit of metal dangling down as an ornament.
