Mens Check Shirts
Men's check shirts answer to checked, checkered, plaid and tartan. Flannel is the odd word out. Flannel names a cloth and check names a pattern, which is why a flannel shirt can be soft to the touch with no check on it at all.

Checked, Checkered and Plaid Shirts for Men
Check, checked and checkered all describe the same crossing lines, and plaid and tartan sit in the same family. One check shirt differs from the next at the scale of the pattern. A small, tight check stays quiet and goes under a jacket to work. A big block check is the loud one and wants to be the thing people notice. Our men's long sleeve shirts carry the plain ones alongside these.
Flannel Shirts, Tartan and Lumberjack Checks
Flannel is worth one more line, because the two words get swapped constantly. A flannel shirt can carry a check or none at all, and a check shirt can be flannel or something smoother. A shirt that manages both is what people call a lumberjack shirt. If a check is not what you came for, men's oxford shirts covers the smooth, plain end instead. The scale of check for a Saturday comes down to taste, and nothing more exact than that.
