Herringbone is a broken twill: the diagonal turns back every few threads, like a herring's spine.

Woven label reading Strond, Outer Hebrides, in gold on navy, stitched onto a coat lining — Strond: Strond is the village where, in 1846, the Paisley sisters wove tweed in the Murray tartan for the Countess of Dunmore's estate.
