Gingham

Continuing the discussion of a stripe- the word Gingham, originates from an adjective in the Malay language, genggang, meaning striped.

Gingham is a medium-weight balanced plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn, according to Wikipedia. It also is often used as a test fabric while designing fashion, or used for making an inexpensive fitting shell prior to making the clothing in fashion fabric.
