Looking for a printed stretch fabric that's as durable as it is distinctive? Hound-D-SW wraps a refined houndstooth print around a high-performance 82% polyester / 18% spandex base, ready for swimwear, leggings, sports bras, and everyday activewear. At 220 GSM with a 60–61" width, it offers four-way stretch, dependable recovery, and the structure that production garments rely on. Browse it within our geometric spandex and patterned spandex collections.

Why Choose Hound-D-SW?

The appeal of Hound-D-SW lies in how it balances fashion and function. Its polyester-rich blend resists chlorine and holds color through repeated wear, while the 18% spandex keeps every piece moving freely with the body. The result is a houndstooth fabric that looks tailored on a sports bra or swimsuit yet performs like a dedicated activewear knit.

A Versatile Houndstooth Print

Houndstooth carries an easy, polished look that crosses effortlessly from the studio to the street to the pool. Because the print is bonded into the polyester face rather than layered on top, it holds up to stretching, laundering, and chlorine exposure without cracking or fading. That durability, combined with the pattern's neutral versatility, makes it simple to coordinate — set it against matching solid spandex for panels, waistbands, and color-blocked detailing.
