What is the difference between the 'ombre check' mentioned in the shirt description and a regular check?
It says it resembles familiar grid patterns like tartan check, but because the unfamiliar word ombre is used alongside it, it is difficult to gauge what kind of pattern it is.

Ombre check is a pattern that has a grid shape similar to tartan check, but where the boundaries of the lines and colors are blurred and diffused.
If clearly drawn lines make up a tartan check, lines that spread out softly like paint make up an ombre check[1].
Meaning shadow in French, ombre refers to a method where colors transition gradually from dark to light as if casting a shadow. Unlike regular checks where straight lines intersect to create sharp angles, ombre check dyes the shades in stages to soften and blur the edges where lines meet.
RYOO's Asymmetric ombre shirts #6 [black] is based on a grid arrangement resembling tartan check, woven so that the boundaries of the lines are blurred to blend naturally with the base color[2].
hmmm, while a clear grid gives a neat and tidy feel, ombre, with its softly erased line boundaries, tones down the distinctive prominence of checks and calms the overall mood of the garment.
