I could also get some extra fabric and stitch on the pleats, but I'm a bit too lazy for that, and also misplaced my sewing machine when moving. Maybe I'll do that in the future.

My Budget "Close Enough" shirt.
Got this shirt at TJ Maxx for about $15. Figured it was close enough except the color. So I went to JoAnns and picked up some "taupe" color RIT dye and plan to dye the shirt quickly so it only gets a light shade rather than a darker, deeper shade. These pics are a bit off. The shirt is much more white than it appears here and the dye is less tan than it appears.

Looks good! I have a few of the Cabela's ones in different colors as an alternate.

Re: My Budget "Close Enough" shirt.
Here it is post-dye. I like the way the color came out. Next to an index card for white reference cuz it looks a bit different in the picture vs real life. And next to my close enough pants to see how they contrast.
