Not sure who will see this or care to help but...

I am on the hunt for a very particular style of shirt pattern and color. Is it tattersall or just a plain check? Light blue/gray background with what appears to be cream and navy thin stripes on top.

The two examples below are not exactly the same but they're very similar and I'd like to find a shirtmaker that offers something that is equally similar.

Oddly, I have scoured many websites and made-to-measure providers and haven't found anything remotely similar. It seems like this should be easy to find.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bowie circa 1975–I believe the same shirt is on the "Young Americans" cover:

Prince Charles circa 1983–looks like alternating stripe colors on this one:

Alumo makes a bunch that has that pattern in it if you find a shirt maker who has their bunches. Their bunches aren’t easily accessible online but this is the tan and blue version.

This helps, thank you! Luxire offers some Alumo fabrics but nothing like what I am after. However, I sent them an email with these photos to see if they have access to something similar.
