Non-see-through white shirts

[Captain Winky]

So is it really that hard to find well-priced white shirts that don't fit like tents and can't be seen through? I'm not a big under shirt-wearer, so the former is pretty important, but it seems every time I go to look for a well-fitting white shirt I have this problem. Any suggestions? I'm looking for something that fits like RLBL, BB extra slim or Duncan Quinn, is solid white (perhaps has a little texture to it), can't be seen through and retails for $150 or less.

I'll definitely have to pick one up as a more casual shirt, thanks! However, for more formal settings, I prefer a straight collar, not BD.

As an aside, I just noticed they started doing the luxury shirts in extra slim. Nice looking patterns for something a little bolder, might have to try as an alternative to RLBL's less sedate dress shirts.

Oxford shirt/ Oxford Cloth Button Down (OCBD). You can't see through oxford cloth. The Trad's Blind Oxford Tasting is a good start http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...d-tasting.html http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...ting-no-1.html http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...ting-no-2.html http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...ting-no-3.html http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...ting-no-4.html http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/...ting-no-5.html Edit: Whoops, just saw you don't like BD. Nm.

Are you worried about the nipples or the hair showing? Thats a big question.

Buy Oxford cloth shirts (they aren't all Button down collars) and have them fitted. I have some from Ralph Lauren that have a nice spread collar.

I've also been looking for some non-see-through slim fit white shirts. I'm not really a fan of oxford cloth tho... Are there any other options?
