Looking for Short-Sleeve Shirts w/ a Straight Shirttail

April 17, 2009 12:46 PM

A few years ago, I bought a pair of short-sleeve button-ups from J.Crew that have a straight shirttail on them. I'm rather untuck inclined, especially when things get warm., and would love to buy more shirts like them. Who makes a quality, non-tropical version?

Not totally confident straight shirttail is the term I should be using - rather than the longer back and front you usually see on a button-up, the bottom of these shirts cuts off in a straight line that hits at the hip.

Are you looking for a camp shirt?

Lots of these at Macy's right now -- check out Alfani and Timberland in particular for two different styles.

Ditto on the camp shirt. There's a brand called Woody's I like that shows up at Costco (here in AZ anyways) from time to time. Other than that, Google 'camp shirt' and you'll have more options than you can shake a stick at.

What you're looking for is a finished shirt tail, one that is hemmed and lacks the long front and back of dress shirts meant to be tucked in.

Gap, J. Crew, and other retailers all carry shirts like these. You may even check L. L. Bean and REI as these sorts of shirts are popular for outdoor activities.

I've got a closetful of the things, because I live near a three-state clearance center for a major department store chain. Labels include Woolrich, Patagonia, Daniel Cremieux, Timberland, Land's End. One or two are solid-colored, but most have either a simple print or a decorative weave. I thought they were pretty common.
