    Now, when I do find a decent shirt, I'll buy several.

    I guess I'm hoarding for the "shirtpocalypse", the day when everything is a polyester blend with button-down collar.

    Not to disagree but I was at the local Penny's Sunday and only about half of the dress shirts were button down. What is hard to find here is muted colors or patterns.

    I should have been more specific, I'm pretty picky.

    I don't like cotton/anything blends. Barring a few % of spandex for stretch I like 100% cotton.

    I prefer a more athletic cut shirt, not that I'm at my most athletic anymore, but I think most shirts are cut WAY too wide in the waist for a given arm/collar measurement.

    I also tend to stay away from Oxford weaves. They're just too thick for me, I get too warm. I prefer broadcloth.

    as I said, I'm pretty picky.
