Best Value Tattersall Shirts?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Well, when I was in House of Bruar last September I could have bought the whole store. :-) However, I think you are looking for a US source, and one that won't break the bank.

My favorite shirts for the money generally come from places you've mentioned such as LL Bean or Land's End, but you are right about the button down collars. If you look through their selections carefully you might find some things that will work for you.

Here's one from LL Bean without a button collar that is available in a small B/W check (not really a tattersall).

This one and this one from Land's End are more work shirts, but it lacks the button collar.

I also have to say that I have a couple of these shirts, and they are some of my favorites, despite the button collar.

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/

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.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I somehow had missed the House of Bruar offerings. They seem to have a good range of patterns.

Jock, thanks for the insight. I have a couple of beaten-up "plaid shirts", as we call them over here, that I use for the same types of activities- hunting (shooting, to you), working around the yard, etc., so I guess they're somewhat counterparts. That may explain why there's a dearth on this side of the Atlantic of country checks.

Matt, I'm also a big fan of JosABank (when on sale) and have some of their shirts in check patterns.
