Revered, coveted and imitated by fashion heavyweights including the likes of Tom Ford for Gucci, the Prince of Wales traditional check is making a comeback. Clarks are championing the resurgence of the pattern with the release of their SS ’09 collection, which features the distinctive design emboldening some of the labels most time-honoured classics. The British collides with British in this unification of such traditional sartorial icons.

The collection sees the Clarks Wallabees, the Desert boot and the Lugger revamped with a Prince of Wales check. The footwear will be available in both suede and leather with contrast stitching and the signature Clarks Originals crepe sole.
