Another close enough shirt from Wally World
I just saw in a Wal-Mart ad a "long-sleeved military-style shirt". It looks like it comes in khaki and stone (but in ads, color can be deceiving). It has epaulets, pleated flap pockets, and matching buttons. Unfortunately, the pocket flaps are shaped wrong. But, for $14.83, it still may be worth it.

I went to Walmart.com and tried to locate the shirt, but it hasn't made it to the website yet. There is a store about a mile and a half from here, so I may see if they have them there. If so, I'll get one and take pictures.
In the meantime, you may want to keep checking the website. It's a "No Boundaries" brand, and its called a "long sleeved military style shirt".

I have two already. My local walmart only had olive, gray, and brown. It's a soft, predistressed heavyish cotton, including mildly frayed edges at random. I'd like a khaki or stone color if I can get one. The style is very "adventurer" like, but the material and less generous cut might displease many trying to stay close to the Film look and feel. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

The ad I received stated that colors would differ from store to store, so maybe when they hit the online store, the other colors will be available. Anyway, I took some pictures of the olive one, including me in it so the fit/cut can be seen.

Yes, Webhead, that Wal-Mart is about six miles away (I guess there really IS one on every corner).
I found the same link, finally. I guess I missed it the first time.
I'll stop at both Wal-Marts on my way home from work tomorrow and see if they have anything in khaki. Judging by the close-up of the ad picture, stone is not an option. And, when I clicked the "buy now" button, the page said the item is currently out of stock, so there was no choice of colors.

No Epaulets??? That's odd...
I dropped by both Wal-Marts in my area AND one in Waco (about an hour north), and they all had the same colors as the ad that was posted on-line. I know, I must really like Wally World, right? No. I only had to work about three hours today and part of that work carried me to Waco, about a block from the Wal-Mart, so I thought I'd make one last ditch effort to find stone. In the original ad I have here at home, the colors appear much lighter than they actually are, and the olive drab seemed more stonish.
I like the shirts, personally, and I'll probably buy a couple this weekend (Tax Free Weekend!!!! ). They're not screen accurate, but the heavier material may make a better real world adventure shirt (I love the Old Navy shirt I've got, but I'm always worried about tearing the thin material). And they're cheaper than Cabelas. Screen accuracy isn't as important to me... I just like the safari shirt style, and anything in stone, khaki, or olive drab is good enough for me.

Your link sputtered out about halfway thru, but I copied and pasted with no problem.Indiana Ken wrote:Here is one I just came across looking for other things:

Those look like nice shirts, Ken, thanks for finding them. "Cotton canvas" sounds like a cool weather shirt to me.
