slim fit oxford cloth half sleeve shirt: where to buy?

[srivats]

Folks, I don't know if this has been discussed before - if it has please excuse me.

I am looking to buy a few half-sleeve shirts made of oxford cloth, preferably with no pocket (having a pocket is not a dealbreaker though). I defintely want a slim/tailored fit.

LE comes oh-so-close, but the shirts they have are pinpoint (maybe ok) and no-iron (strictly not ok): http://www.landsend.com/pp/ShortSlee...193081_59.html

Does anyone know where I can get regular (i.e. must-iron), oxford cloth half sleeve shirts in a BB-like slim fit without breaking the bank?

It's easier to find a full sleeve and have it altered into a half sleeve.

Why would you want "half sleeves"? Unless you only have half arms, in which case I am very sorry.

Fred Perry Made in UK or Made in Portugal are nice, although the collar isn't as long as I'd like it to be. Slim fitting, 3rd button on the back of the collar, sewn down back box pleat, notch detail on the cuffs of the sleeves. Avoid the Made in China.

Maybe I should have said "short sleeves".

I do know that they are not a trad staple, but I like them because I wore them a lot during my younger days and they are a nice option if you are going to be working outside in hot weather. They are also good for casual wear. So, trad or not, I definitely want to have 3-4 shirts in my wardrobe.

If you're a gamber - Jantzen.

I was going to suggest them as well. Ive ordered about a dozen Jantzens over the last year and have always had great results. My wait is usually about 3 weeks and the only time I had a problem (they showed up with a smaller-than-requested collar) Ricky didnt charge me.
