There's nothing fishy going on here...well, maybe a little bit...herringbone pattern in classic colours.

I said to our web designer 'look, we need something for jeans' but he is a bit mutt and jeff, so we ended up with something to do with genes. Crick and Watson would have been impressed.

A new twist?

"Checkmate in 15 I think you'll find, Watson" Holmes declared with a triumphant smile.

Head to the checkout and check this check out.

'I say Oates, be a good chap and pop outside and check to see if the washing is dry' said Scott, winking furiously at the others whilst adjusting his braces.

Mid blue dot on a buttercup yellow ground.

Royal Purple ground('Beetroot' in my up-to-date 1951 edition of THE BRITSH COLOUR COUNCIL STANDARDS) with mid grey ('Battleship')dots. So, Beetroot and Battleship, then.

Black ground with sky blue dot.

'Phwaaar' cried the merciless maestro of the East Cholmondley Golf Club, as he unleashed his mighty slice through the Club House window.

A stylised simple red and gold flower printed on a blue silk ground.

"Did you see where that went, Jeeves?" enquired the enthusiastic wafter of the hickory shafted mashie niblick. "I think you will still find it is resting upon its tee" he replied, tactfully.

The Old Boar's Head - I drink there on Tuesdays. Not relevant, but I thought I'd mention it as the landlord promised me a bag of pork scratchings for the free publicity.

The blindfold, the evidence being weighed on the scales of justice and the sword poised ready...and I was only up before the beak for an unpaid parking ticket.

Let Justice shine forth like a beacon from this dark ground - and, let's face it, looking good with your tux as well.

Grey ground with diagonal straw yellow stripe

As worn by Andre 3000 of Outkast in the video for 'Hey ya'. Quite an unusual surname - I've often thought there cannot be that many 3000s in the phone book...
