Advice: looking for a linen shirt, help?

So here's the score: I have been told that I'm going to Japan for work for a while and I leave in about 6 weeks. I've been in Japan in the summer before and frankly, it blows. I did it before in cotton and I'll not make the same mistake twice. Here's the catch: there doesn't appear to be an off the rack shirt that'll fit me (I've tried club monaco, Jcrew, express (kinda ew but I'm desperate) H&M, UNIQLO, Brooks Brothers and Zara). I'm just out of places that I can think to look. I've got just enough time to custom order a few MTM if I do it right now. Otherwise it's full nuclear option local tailor bespoke (which will cost god knows how much for a rush order).

Just to be clear: I'm not looking for the words greatest shirt, not even super-slim fitting and trendy or anything. I'm real easy on this one, but all the shirts I've tried above either choke me, or aren't long enough to be properly tucked in when I'm at work or are so enormous around the stomach/waist that I will have to pay someone to take them in.

TL:DR does anyone know of a place where I can order a MTM linen shirt for less than $100-ish? If not, do you know of place that makes a non-classic (read baggy) fit linen shirt that's long enough to tuck?

Thanks in advance for any help available.
