Checkered tablecloths are best known for their casual and fun look. These particular table cloths can be found on picnic tables, backyard barbeque tables, in Italian restaurants, pizza parlors, or at any event where a festive mood is important. Our rectangular checkered table linens can add both a classic authenticity to buffet tables as well as providing the perfect fit for a causal outdoor party.

Checkered table cloths are often referred to as Gingham tablecloths: made from a fabric of pattern-dyed cotton yarn. Many believe that the name for the fabric was derived from the Italians, while others believe the term "Gingham" is of Indonesian origin. Wherever it came from, this bright and festive cloth began to appear in Europe in the 17th century, and by the 1700’s Gingham cloth became very popular, and was a major economic boon to the textile mills in Manchester, England. The fabric was woven into a variety of checkered and plaid patterns. Blue and white was the color of choice for many years, but red and white checkered tablecloths have come to dominated western tastes now.
