An X-wrapped metallic honeycomb body is provided for carrying thereon an exhaust gas cleaning catalyst. The honeycomb body has been constructed using at least two stacks each of which comprises planar band(s) and corrugated band(s) made from metal sheets and alternately stacked into a desired number of layers. Each of the stacks has a notched fitting portion so that the stacks are mutually fitted together at the notched fitting portions thereof. The stacks have been rolled in the same direction about the notched fitting portions thereof as a central axis of the rolling formation.
