The fashionable “crow's feet” print, known throughout the English language world as a houndstooth dog canine, has a no less interesting history than other Scottish fabric patterns. From the time of the Roman Empire until the 12th century, the “dog fang” has been present in many historical artifacts: fabrics, clothing, architecture, and interior. The hidden medieval meaning of such a print in clothing was the position of neutrality of its owner. And only at the beginning of the 19th century did the print gain its status, it became popular in political and diplomatic circles, and even the Prince of Wales was his active fan.
After the war, "crow's feet" go beyond the borders of Great Britain and become a characteristic pattern in the clothes of a "not young", "mature" man, who emphasizes his conservatism. Fashion on [houndstooth] brings back the 21st century.
“Goose foot" is no longer associated with older Scots, it has expanded its influence and is not going to give up its positions: sportswear and footwear, workwear for the service industry, outerwear, bags and accessories - you can list for a very long time. The main feature of the print is its brightness and dominance, it is better not to combine it with other prints. Only monophonic options are successful, bright colors and combinations are possible. The design pattern changes its color, size and step, but remains recognizable and loved.
Large format sublimation printing on white synthetic fabrics, for example on dense costume fabrics, uses the crow's feet print very successfully. This print is well combined with one-color companion from another fabric. Direct printing on cotton , especially white denim fabrics with a diagonal weave, will emphasize the geometric geometry of the print.
