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.
