Where to get paisley shirts?

Where can I find button-front casual shirts in paisley or paisley-like patterns, like the one worn by Peter Gibbons in Office Space?
I'm interested in where to get this specific shirt, or shirts of a similar pattern. I rather like the busy pattern in muted colors.

Check out the Robert Graham brand. Since the "dandy" trend in men's shirts (the past four or five years), they've put out a lot of paisleys, though not so many are short sleeved. You can find them at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack, and presumably elsewhere.

These kinds of shirts (long-sleeve, paisley, various colors) sold very well back when I worked in the Young Men's Department at Belk. This would have to be around 1991 or so. Many were manufactured by Van Heusen. Given that you probably don't have ready access to a time machine, perhaps you'd do well to visit some of the better thrift stores or vintage consignment shops in your area. For that matter, Ebay might do it.

Thrift stores.
Seriously.
My summer wardrobe is almost identical and it's all been acquired at $1.49/item or less.
