The name of this pattern is "Houndstooth" in case you want a suit jacket with a bunch of stacked cats on it

TIL that Houndstooth dates back to at least 360-100 BC.

That is absolutely incredible!

According to the Houndstooth Wikipedia article,

The oldest Bronze Age houndstooth textiles found so far are from the Hallstatt Celtic Salt Mine, Austria, 1500-1200 BC.

Mind-bending.

Edited because I forgot a word.

In German, it's Hahnentritt (roosters foot).
