Tattersall shirts

[Hirsty]

My own definition is a pattern of two or three coloured thin stripes in a checked pattern, usually on a white or beige background. Think one which can go with a tweed or wax jacket.

Where did you find that green shirt? I love it.

This looks like the same one:

If this is correct, here is the definition of Tattersall:

[The Q]

I don't think those put up by tokareva would be recognised by people in the UK as Tatersall shirts, the three put up by Bruce would.
I regularly see / meet people wearing Tatersall shirts, they are mostly in or around the farming community. . I do meet people at the sailing club wearing them but again their work life is in the countryside .

I don't have any Tatersall shirts, as I have an excess of white, and light khaki shirts due to former work requirements. Should I ever wear that lot out, a Tatersall or two is on my list.
As to what tie to wear, most people I meet, wear a plain tie, or a regimental striped tie. Unless there is a colour clash then I see no problem with a striped tie.

Oh that wiki definition of Tatersall would be what is recognised by most in the UK.

They make it sound as though tattersall is primarily equestrian attire.

Thank you! I didn't know where the pic came from.

I’m glad someone else brought this up because I’ve been looking for a place to get one or two of these for a little while. Would anyone be able to advise where I might find a good tattersall shirt in a “slim fit?” I’m 5’3 and even small sizes are absolutely giant on me.

Perhaps, the horsey set wants to have/claim their own dress code?

...with humble beginnings as a horse blanket cloth I believe?

Not at all. Check shirts, ranging from cross bars, to something looking rather plaid have been a staple of soldiers and laborers working dress as far back as the early 18th Century.

There was a very nice bit of natural and madder cross bar Check linen shirt brought up from the Mary Rose.

I wear tattersall, or what I call check shirts almost exclusively.

Likewise for seven months of the year, kilted or otherwise. However when the mercury rises and the sun beats down I retreat into my paisley and floral linen armour and put away the kilts so I don't get heatstroke!

For anyone looking for very good tattersall shirts at a reasonable price, I get them on markdown here: https://www.josephturner.co.uk/sale/...l_check_shirts
Keep in mind they're sized in the same way as dress shirts, i.e. by collar size and sleeve length. Selection is extremely limited however as these are the final stock from the prior year, and the leftover shirts tend to be in uncommon sizes. Good luck!
