The only short sleeved sport shirts I wear are a couple of seersucker shirts. I have western and linen long sleeved shirts that I roll. I have a short sleeved Ben Sherman somewhere, pattern is nice but overall it's kind of rubbish.

There are two being sold via the link in my signature.

I was really skeptical of s/s button downs too, have found very little that fit well, and dont shrink to ****.

I just picked up a new one that fits perfect and has great proportions by G-Star Raw. it was like 120$ though. G-Star has great detailing and sizing on their shirts from what I've experienced, I also picked up a cool one at Guess for like 80$ (most people wouldn't try looking there I know).

Anyway, here is a link to their short-sleeve button down shirts:

The full retail prices on the website are ridiculous, just find them at discount at Macy's or Filene's.

Yeah.. maybe I've seen them, but haven't paid attention to them. I don't like a traditional shirt hem for ss shirts. I like a straight hem for shirts I wear untucked.

Try H&M, tey have some cheap stuff in for the summer and I'm pretty sure they do button downs.

Dunno if Uniqlo Japan has different stock to its foreign branches, but this Summer they have some very nice S\\S BDs in the same pattern as Ben Sherman, just a "tighter" check (if you know what I mean?). The only prob OTR is that they're too long to wear untucked, so a trip to the tailors is necessary. But for 2990 Yen, they're hard to beat IMO.

I picked up a YSL s/s b/d a few summers ago on sale in London @ $50~ CND; fit was great and it was cheap. I'd just look around stores for anything on sale and try em on.

Zara is worth checking out. Recently bought a black gingham s/s that's really nice.
