Tattersal shirts???

[macwilkin]

I think it will work with the vest. The vest will separate the stripes of the tattersal and the tartan, while at the same time providing the brown that ties the shirt into the outfit as a whole.

Without the vest ... I would choose a different shirt or a different tartan.

A good friend of mine who is a bit of a "clothes horse" says that as long as one pattern, like the tattersal, is smaller than the other, then it is quite acceptable. He does with patterned shirts and ties.

So I don't think a vest is absolutely necessary -- Matt's pictures prove it.
