    Real Tattersall is not very common any more in N. America. You can find it but you have to look and it will usually be one of the pretty expensive custom shirt places.

    I found a couple of shirts in Costco, of all places, that look pretty good with the kilt. Not tattersall, but very good quality and not just simply 'flat' cloth.

    I knew i wouldnt find real tattersall but something in that "line".
    I saw a few like this: http://www.josbank.com/1905-collecti...ll-dress-shirt

    But i didnt have the kilt with me to see how they fit and appeared. I want something to complement and not clash. Anyway. I ne er thought about costco. Thanks for the idea!

    Good looking shirt.
    Worn my kilt once into one of my favourite clothiers to go shirt and sweater shopping. They were quite helpful.

    To get a tattersall shirt I went to Hoggs of Fife, you can find them on ebay or Amazon. Here are a couple of links.

    If you want to go out to pick one up locally I have found success at Brooks Brothers.

    ?????? What????

    That shirt, if you add the shipping, and import fees comes to $92.50cad or $70.50usd.

    I went down to my local tailor and had one totally custom made for less than that.

    I picked out collar style, cuff style, buttons, fit, everything, and even had it custom embroidered with my name inside the collar. All in - with federal and local taxes - was $90.00cad.

    McMurdo those are nice shirts and quite in line with what i saw at belk, dillards, kohls and jos a bank. I think i will have to take the kilt with me and try the different shirts on so i can see which ones would look the best.

    Steve- i agree that $90 is too rich for my blood but the average price of the shirts i looked at today was $35.

    I will be wearing my kilt for my step dads 75th birthday but i think i will wear the white button up and go for a simple yet classic look.

    Taskr- wearing the kilt while trying on sweaters and vests is smart. Not only can you verify that everything complements- but you can also verify the waist fits correctly too.

    I have just ordered some shirts from Hoggs, they may be going back as I found the shirts at nearly half the price at this website https://hollandscountryclothing.co.u...m#.WLKSvOvfWrX.

    Could be worth a look as the import and other taxes will be significantly less. The Hoggs bronze shooting socks will definitely be staying with me though as I haven't got brown yet.

    I don't know how usefull this will be for those outwith the UK, but if one goes to Joseph Turner of Yorkshire website, www.josephturner.co.uk you will find a large selection of shirts, particularly tattersall patterns amongst others. Whilst I have no connection to the company, I can recommend their wares.
