Cheapest 'Close Enough' Indy Shirt?

Hello, new to the forum...(couldn't find a 'welcome thread') and am interested in obtaining and searching for accurate Indiana Jones outfit in preparation for an Indy outfit I'm trying to put together. So my money is a bit on a budget, (i've already bookmarked that other thread about 'close enough' pants) but I am curious to know if there are any Indy shirts out there that are close enough to the real thing withotu breaking the bank. I found a British Army Khaki a while back, but it was sadly sold out, and I am not sure where to go next for something affordable.

A little help?

I'm looking, and see they have two Safari shirts that seem very, very close. The 65/35 shirt that is 'regular', or the 65/35 that is 'tall'? Both about the same price, but the second one seems to be more highly rated. It is kinda borderline for my price too, at forty dollars but I'll see.

I am looking at other things, but every time I find a pic of a close enough shirt that seems close...its sold out or isn't available anywhere. :-k

Thank you for your responses...What Price Glory is rather out of my price range unfortunately. And so are Todd's Costumes...guess I'm going to have to wait until the Cabela Safari shirts go on sale as I heard they do sometimes.

Check around on ebay too. There's always close enough safari shirts floating around there.

Thanks for the tip. I was considering ebay too. Maybe I'll look at ebay using the Cabela's Safari shirt and the Todd's shirt as comparisons to see if what I see on ebay is similar. Also, should i go for 'Stone' or 'Tan' as a color for the shirt? Stone is preferable to me...also looking on ebay, its very difficult to find ones in your exact size though.

The sleeves are rolled up in the picture but they are long. They only have big sizes on line but I found a medium in store.

For a couple extra bucks you get an Indy shirt.
