Black and Red Tattersall
Posted in Dress Shirts on September 29th, 2009 by SephThis blog does not assume any fashion sense, so I’m going to state something that may be obvious: Tattersall is in style. If you haven’t noticed yet, you will soon enough as we move into fall and winter.

Copied shamelessly from Wikipedia: Tattersall describes a check pattern woven into cloth. The pattern is composed of regularly spaced thin alternating even vertical warp stripes, repeated horizontally in the weft. The stripes are generally darker than the ground. The cloth pattern takes its name from Tattersall’s horse market, which was started in London in 1766. At that market blankets with this checked pattern were used for horses. Today tattersall is a common pattern, often woven in cotton, particularly in flannel, used for shirts or waistcoats.

The pattern is Tattersall, but the fabric weave is Broadcloth. This one in particular is an 80 thread count broadcloth. Technically it’s 77 threads per inch vertically (warp) and 144 threads horizontally (weft). Some might call that 144 threads per inch.

Soft fabric that drapes nicely.

We’re not sure if Brad Pitt deserves the credit for how well he dresses, but (at least on screen) the guy can make an outfit work. One of our favorites is Mr. and Mrs. Smith – where he demonstrates how to really wear the 
shirts quality is looking at the collar. A high quality shirt collar will be smooth, fairly sturdy and have a round curve around the neck. Cheap, mass-produced shirts usually don’t get this right because it needs to be done by hand and takes some time. Look at the collars in the two pictures above. The curve of the collar flows smoothly and the points are crisp. You don’t see an imprint of the collar stays, and the tips don’t flair out at all.
