Can anyone help me find some slim white button ups? Shorter hem for wearing untucked with jeans and a blazer would be preferable. This seems like the sort of thing I might find at H&M, Zara, etc but I don't have access to their stores in NC and they don't have online outlets. Thanks.

try an online custom shop, i guess. maybe land's end? tell the computer you're an inch or two thinner and two or three inches shorter than you really are, but give them your correct neck and sleeve. you might be able to get something that way.

the other option is janzten. you'll get your shirt sometime in 2008.

I'm you're a smaller size, Lands End won't get small enough for you: http://styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=9629 If you're willing to pay >$100 and live in the US, WW Chan might be coming to a city near. I've decided that waiting for Thick As Thieves to launch its shirting line will get me a shirt faster than ordering from Jantzen right now.

that's why i told him to lie about his height, chest and waist on the computer. drop 2 inches off the height (it'll make the shirt an inch shorter - if you want more, drop 4 inches) and drop 2 or 3 inches off your chest and you'll get a slimmer shirt on the first try.

but don't lie about your jacket size.

Well you can return Lands End custom shirts, so that isn't really the issue. Although your guidelines will probably cut the iterations down by one. If you read what I said in that thread, the issue is that Lands End will not go really slim, and no amount of lying will change that.
