    Another tattersall source

    Here's a link to House of Bruar, which I'd mentioned in my previous post. They seem to have quite a selection of tattersall shirts: http://www.houseofbruar.com/no-brand...t-prodtn08130/

    And there's always Jos. A Bank, which has an understated tattersall at a good price at the moment: http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop...p:ReferralView

    Alright you have plenty of suggestions to work on, so I don't think adding to the list will help. BUT, a word to the wise may help. Many tattersall shirts are made for the farming/ country set where messing around with the tractor engine,skinning a deer etc. is a normal pursuit. These shirts are fine for what they are cheap, functional and they sell like hot cakes here and it is no big deal if they get stained. What they often lack is quality of cloth, lack of room across the back, sleeves that rarely are long enough and the lacking of sensible length shirt tails. So be careful.

    Quite right Jock. I have a wide array of tattersall and check style shirts that I wear with my Highland day attire. I prefer Brooks Brothers and Barbour for unsurpassed quality, color selection, collar/cuff selection, and how simply by how they are made. I hace never had any sort of problem with my shirts from either establishment, and the price is absolutely spot on! On average I typically pay around $80 for a shirt from Brooks Brothers or Barbour, which may sound expensive to some, but I have peace of mind that the shirt(s) will hold up for quite some time if properly taken care of.

    Now, my formal shirts for Highland evening attire are entirely much more expensive, but that is another subject. I'd go with Brooks Brothers and Barbour. I haven't really seen the abundance of assorted styles and colors in the tattersall or check design at other establishments.

    Slainte mate,
