Both herringbone and chevron patterns have been very trendy lately. Long used on hardwood floors throughout Europe, they are also very popular in textiles because the subtle weave brings a sophisticated edge to every piece.
Can you tell the difference between the two? Here’s how we keep them straight:
– In a chevron pattern, the ends are cut at an angle to create a continuous zigzag design.
– A herringbone pattern breaks more abruptly, resulting in a broken zigzag pattern.
Make it easy on yourself by remembering that chevron = continuous and herringbone = broken.

Always loved the herringbone tweeds! It has been a great classical weave and always will be.
Enjoy your weekend.
