Tattersail?

Is this a tattersall pattern? This shirt is short-sleeved and looks like this. I have worn it both kilted and trousered on several occasions.

Just curious about the style of the pattern. Thanks.

Bren , I am afraid not. Incidentally it's Tattersall not Tattersail. A Tattersall shirt is indeed small checks but normally in two or more colours . Pretty much like this -

Usually lighter with the stripes of different colours going in different directions.

There is still a Tattersall enclosure on most if not all of Britain and Ireland's horse racing venues.
