HOUNDSTOOTH - me no likey

I usually like what Usher wears and when he's not wearing anything and shows us his six pack and infectious smile. BUT I don't like him in HOUNDSTOOTH. In fact I don't like Houndstooth. Its origin is in the woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands and popularized by Univ. of Alabama coach Paul "the Bear" Bryant. Unless in the small pattern or in accessories, it makes me dizzy. (The coat is cute but I'm getting a sherlock homes vibe.)
