Best country check shirt

The country check shirt has become a classic for a reason. These thick cotton or polycotton long-sleeved shirts are smart, durable and beyond fashion. They should keep you warm or cool, depending on the season with a generous fit that gives a good range of movement for outdoor pursuits including shooting, fishing and hunting. The traditional Tattersall check dates back to the early 1700s where it was first used on Tattersall market’s horse blankets. It remains a stylish staple of shooting shirts that never look out of place in the countryside. While the check has heritage, look for shirts that are easy to wash and iron and are durable enough for activewear if you want your country shirt to be a practical staple of your wardrobe.
