This 100% cotton herringbone woven fabric sports the chicest stripes of alternating natural (ecru) and classic black. A timeless combination that will sit perfectly with all manner of toile-de-jouy-type fabrics, natural linens and fabrics/wallcoverings with an essentially natural, country-inspired theme.

Ticking is equally serviceable and hard-wearing for clothing too! With its denim-like properties create denim jackets with contrastingticking stripe panels & matching skirts, oversized worker/shacket shirts, pinafore dresses, tunic tops, artist smocks, and so much more!
