herringbone
Herringbone, also called broken twill weave, describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern usually found in twill fabric. It is distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish. Herringbone-patterned fabric is usually wool, and is one of the most popular cloths used for suits and outerwear. Tweed cloth is often woven with a herringbone pattern.
Fatigue uniforms made from cotton in this weave were used by several militaries during and after World War II; in US use, they were often called HBTs.

Herringbone spacing concern!
Before I complain to our tiler, does this spacing look right? We were definitely expecting a uniform grout line - grout will be bright white so I’m worried this will look a bit botched - when we’ve purposefully hired a tiler to make it look professional! -
