I do like the Prince of Wales check pattern. The term is often widely but wrongly applied to the Glen Urquhart check and other similar coloured overchecks, which should not be confused. The POW could be said to have been popularised by the Duke when he was Prince, however it was infact his grandfather Kind Edward VII that designed it when he held the title of The Prince of Wales, to don for his shootings at Abergeldie House on Scotland’s Deeside. It is of similar pattern to the Glen Urquhart but nearly twice its size on the repeat.
Prince of Wales Brown Check
Prince of Wales Green Check
Pity about the grey on grey but it's a rather nice example of a POW check jacket, which Daniel Craig is sporting.
