Tattersall Check Shirts: Classic British Country Style
There’s quintessentially English, and then there’s quintessentially Yorkshire. Tattersall shirts combine comfort and style, making them the perfect choice for relaxing in the country or adding a subtle edge to your everyday wardrobe.
The History of Tattersall Checks
The Tattersall check pattern dates back over 200 years and is created by combining a horizontal stripe with thin, even vertical stripes. Its name comes from Tattersall’s horse market, founded in 1776 by Richard Tattersall, which sold horse blankets featuring this bright checked design. Soon after, the pattern became a favourite for men’s country shirts and a staple of British country style.
