    Tattersall and striped ties

    I am thinking of adding some dimension to my kilt accoutrement. Specifically, tattersall shirts and striped ties. I am not sure I can picture the two patterns together. Can anyone help with pics?

    Shirt is a off white base and the stripes that form the checks are actually two lines, one a beige and the other a darker brown.
    I have other photos, wearing a brown check argyll and non matching waistcoat, same tie, but by the time you photograph it in the bright sunlight you cannot see the check.

    Another photo, of blue check tattersall shirt with XMarks striped tie and Poacher tweed jacket and waistcoat which has a overcheck in the tweed

    I tend to go paisley with tattersall and a sportscoat/suit... Kilt tends to get plain wool... I always find it a struggle getting a striped tie to match... That may just be colour though...
