Shoppers - looking for old fashioned summer sheets..

[WelshD]

I'm looking for old fashioned summer sheets:

white or cream background
red AND navy blue overcheck - not just red or blue
navy binding
the old fashioned soft brushed cotton sort of material

I don't suppose anyone knows of any companies that make these still please? I have a real nostalgic hankering for one....

I know what you mean but can't for the life of me remember the supplier. Equitogs in billingshurst west sussex stock them. Give them a call.

I rue the day I threw my old clyst away Mind, it wouldn't fit anything I have now, but even so - dumb move.

OP, I believe you are looking for Tattersall sheets. Tattersall is the name of the type of pattern, but also is (used to be anyway) synonymous with the cream check sheets. I have absolutely no idea who makes them now, we used to get ours from Gibsons in Newmarket for the racehorses.

Clyst rugs come up a lot on eBay so anyone with a hankering for one of those should check out eBay
