In the 18th century, the term “checked” 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, and household items such as toweling, bed hangings, and chair coverings. Descriptions of self-liberated individuals and contemporary writings mention other garments such as a "cross bar gown" or check shortgown or jacket.
