Show us your shirts

[AKScott]

I kinda feel like I got solids under control, but bring those too. I am trying to get a handle on patterned shirts with a tie and a kilt, but who knows who will learn what.

As soon as I get my photobucket password reset, I post one up.

Hmm, the editor at photobucket is new. If I figured it out, one image, one "risky" to me shirt, one outfit.

I think since the stripes are all one color this technically isn't a tattersall shirt. Would this be called checkered? What is the right name for this pattern?

Does this work, not work, or might work better if I changed ____.

Thanks. All my clothes are little loose right now. In the last eight weeks I have converted nine cords of standing timber into 16 inch sticks cluttering up the lawn. I have about five cords split and stacked, about four cords as 16" rounds ready to be split, none of my bifurcated garments fit exactly correctly just now either.



Looks ok in the "preview post" view...

I would call that a windowpane check. It appears the cross-stripe has a shadow line (a grey-ish/charcoal line next to the white one, easier to see in the close-up) - or is that a trick of the eye and both vertical and horizontal stripes have the shadow line?

The shirt looks OK to me with the kilt, but I'd level out the tops of the aprons on your Scott Green kilt. (Looks like the rear apron has risen behind the front apron at the top.) Not so sure about that paisley tie or the pink hose, but I'm a more conservative dresser.

I think its bad photography. In person, it's white stripes on a blue field.

Appreciate the input otherwise. I am seriously down about 16 pounds bringing in firewood, nothing I own fits right just now; but I am not worried about gaining it back.

I found this one in my photobucket bucket, steel blue or steel grey solid, I get lots of mileage out of this color, have for years. Not a tattersall, but not white either:

One other solid color shirt that I find very versatile is known to me as French Blue, no idea what other names this shade may have...



I have one more shirt, an actual tattersall up my sleeve, photo here directly after I clean up the kitchen. I have a leg of lamb resting just out of the oven a couple minutes ago.

I like the darker shirt and light kilt.

You know your hose don't match, dressing in the dark?
