Here is another close enough. IMHO this is what Indy would have really worn in Cairo. This one is even cut slim!

For real life I am a huge linen fan, it is tough and breaths like no other.

With that money you could buy a wested.

True, I was simply making the observation that this is an Indy style shirt made of linen, an outstanding hot weather fabric. I have read more than one comment that "authentic" Indy shirts are hot, don't breathe, don't wrinkle enough, aren't slim cut. For COW members who feel that way viola! Problem solved. You can look like Indy and be comfortable in the desert for the same price as a Wested.
This is in no way intended to be a critique of AB, Wested, Howard, or Magnoli shirts.

Hm. I like that shirt. I may have to order one before I go to Egypt this summer, although I really like the weight of my Magnoli shirt too. The linen would be extra nice though. My only complaint about some of the Brooks Brothers clothing is that it is made in Asia. For that kind of money I would expect it all to me made in America, even though I know a lot of that cost is material.

I think that magnoli will make the his shirts out of another type of fabric if asked. that would be cool if he offered a SA color shirt made out of linen.
