Indigo & Brown Cross Bar Checked Linen - $14.00 yd.

The term “checked” in the 18th century referred to any number of woven or printed patterns that intersected at right angles. Checked linens were used for a variety of purposes including aprons, shirts, children’s clothing, trousers, and linings, as well as many household items such as toweling, bed hangings, and chair coverings. Descriptions of self-liberated individuals and other contemporary writings occasionally call out other garments such as a "cross bar gown" or check shortgown or jacket.
