Favorite source for shirts?

Humm interesting. I had a quick look at their tattersall and "country" shirts and found that they tend to look a tad "noisier" than some of the shirts that we are used to over here.

In truth Jock, most of the shirts should be called "country check" shirts as that's what they are, absolutely nothing wrong with that and some have a very nice pattern.

If you were to ask a farmer from Scotland or north of England they wouldn't say they were tattershall because they think of a cloth as described below, it is a much more substantial garment and the pattern is normally more subdued.

Before everyone runs to fetch the stakes and kindling🔥 as I said above they are nice shirts, particularly for warmer weather and some go very well with kilts, but personnaly I think it's a stretch calling them Tattershall.

After all every kilt is a skirt, but not every skirt is a kilt.

Tattersall describes a check or plaid pattern woven into cloth. ... During the 18th century at Tattersall's horse market blankets with this checked pattern were sold for use on horses. Today tattersall is a common pattern, often woven in cotton, particularly in flannel, used for shirts or waistcoats.

Everyone is overshooting the mark. The best shirts worn with a Sport Kilt are tee shirts from WalMart.

With a USA Kilts casual you can wear buttons -- or not. For me a belt is needed when wearing a casual. That's because the Velcro never seems to match up evenly at the ends and looks tacky. (Not knocking the design, thats just the way it is. I have two casuals and am considering a third.) A belt covers things up.

I generally wear Pilot Shirts with my better kilts. They've almost replaced my pique polo shirts. My tattersals are wool and saved for cooler weather.

Hose are every bit as important to think about as shirts.

In case you didn’t know I am, amongst other things, a farmer. Albeit a backseat one these days.I have lived in country check and tattersall shirts for most of my life. I have to say that Hoggs shirts are of a more rustic cloth than I prefer and for me they give very little room for movement as they are very mean with the amount of cloth they use. They do however seem to sell like hot cakes.

I will probably spark some thoughts of kindling and matches with my suggestion but here goes anyway. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a typical sized human, being 6'5" and about 270 pounds (just shy of 2 meters tall and about 13.5 stone or 125kg give or take), and I wear an 18-18.5 " neck, 37-38" sleeves, and a generally looser fit in dress shirts.

OK here goes. I buy almost all of my dress shirts from JCPenney.com, I get them in a variety of fabric colors, weaves and patterns and they come in a variety of "cuts" from narrow to stout, various collars and cuffs, with a lot of standard "out sizes" like me. Other than custom tailors and four color choice junk from Big & Tall shops, they are about the only place that can get me fitted right in reasonably attractive and well made shirts. And the prices are exceptionally reasonable, expecially with their decent % off sales like right now (25% off less than $100, 30% of more than $100). Mine usually end up averaging somewhere between $20-30 per shirt, sometimes even less. And so far they have worn like iron. IMHO virtually same quality as custom at a quarter of the price. I guess that shirts are something I am less than fussy about.

Just one man's opinion. Go ahead and torch, I have my Kevlar briefs on now.

For once I'm glad to be the runt in family. 90% of my male relatives are 6 feet 3 inch plus in height and 220 pounds average in weight. I am the only one that can get "off the rack" clothes. Shirts available to me must meet the 17 inch neck and 35 sleeve length to feel right. Bless all those that fill the shape I did not inherit.

Humm interesting. I had a quick look at their tattersall and "country" shirts and found that they tend to look a tad "noisier" than some of the shirts that we are used to over here.

Samuel Windsor is a UK-based company, specialising in British-style clothing, as best I can tell. They are part of the BVG Group. I would assume that their offerings are in keeping with what's worn "over there", though some styles may not be particularly popular in the Highlands. (Their shirts may be based on UK styles, but like most things these days, they're made in Asia - the tags on mine say Bangladesh.)

I do agree that some of their patterns are noisier than what I would consider typical tattersall patterns. But then again, the lines have become somewhat blurred between tattersall, country check, and even the generic "plaid" patterns as we call them here. What's funny is that over here in the US I have a difficult time finding tattersall shirts that have a bold enough pattern to be seen from more than a couple of feet away. For instance, the shirt in my avatar has a fine check pattern, but it washes out from a distance. I actually like the Samuel Windsor patterns because they have a bit larger, bolder grid pattern that can still be seen. But only a handful of their offerings are still in what I would consider to be tattersall-ish. Others (especially ones with non-white base colours) stray off into country check or plaid patterns.

I would recommend to get a Ghillie Shirt, they look great with the kilt. The Scotland Kilt Company does them. Here is the link.

Nice shirt, but I think the famous, Jerry Sienfeld, Puffy Shirt would be a better choice

Really? Are we going there? I mean great TV show, loved it, but it's not the same. It may be similar to a pirate shirt, but it isn't the same. It's based on the laced shirt worn by the Jacobites.
