It seems to be getting difficult to find khaki shirts with epaulets, etc., but here is a link to a reasonable likeness without the strips of material sewn down the pockets. You may have other links, so post those too, but here is one:

I suppose, if $20 is your outside limit, you could do much worse. But I still recommend Cabela's as the best close-enough.

the Cabellas looks like a thick shirt?

Well, yes, but not as thick as some. It's heavier than the NH, Wested, and Magnoli. I find it lighter than WGP's though. And I've worn it in June, in the sun. It breathes fairly well, and if I wear it at a summit, I always get asked by somebody where I got it.

I had a Cabellas until I was hiking and slid down a hill. I tore the heck out of it and probably looked like Indy in the Temple of Doom. Anyhow, it's a very nice shirt and well made too.

The only thing about Cabelas is that it is not 100% cotton, so it tends to be a bit hotter in the warm weather then, say a LLBean, or NH.
It also doesn't distress very well.
I've had mine for about 4 years, and it looks good as new after every wash. Drives me nuts every time!

The goal is to post links to close enough Indy shirts. Post 'em if you got 'em.

I ordered that LLBean shirt a while back. I have to say, the sizing chart seems to be pretty off. The small was huge, absolutely huge. I buy smalls with those same specs on the sizing chart, and they fit much better. I had to give the shirt away because it was much too big for me. You may want to try them out at a store first for the fit. Or maybe I just got a bad batch...

I wrote an inquiry to Lighthouse workwear about their shirt offering and this was the reply:
"It's not a heavy weighted shirt. It would be good for summer wear."
