overcheck Explanation: GLEN URQUHART CHECK Widely misnamed 'Prince of Wales' after Duke of Windsor who wore it often when Prince of Wales. For authentic version see PRINCE OF WALES CHECK. Authentic Glen Urquhart is actually only in black and white - with no colored overcheck - though popular misusage has come to embrace such in the title. Strictly, these latter can be loosely described as 'Glen' checks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2006-09-15 08:56:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also confirmed here: http://www.fabricdictionary.com/overcheck/97/overcheck.html Example sentence(s):
