Vintage style short sleeve button ups

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering where you guys get your vintage style short sleeve shirts from? When the weather gets hot I can't get away with a long sleeve too often (although whenever possible I wear one and roll up the sleeves) so I'm on the look out for some shirt sleeve shirts. All I can really find are modern looking ones without the class or style of the older days, or cowboy shirts. Any help?

What about a Polo Shirt? I personally like if they have a self fabric collar instead of the usual knit collar.

Or buy made to measure shirts (Natty or Luxire are sponsors here and seem to do a good job)

PS: I just remebered that I saw some "popover" shirts which have a short placket like a polo shirt but are made of normal, non stretchy fabric. I think the could be an interesting alternative. Ralph Lauren seems to make them regulary but I am sure Luxire and Natty are also able to do them.

Bump because I found some popover shirts at different places this season. I think this style makes short sleeved shirts far better looking and less geeky.
First one is actually Luxire but places like J.Crew, ERalph lauren, gap or H&M also carry versions of this style.

Ted Baker do good shirts with a classic look, both short sleeve shirts and "roll sleeve" shirts (shirts with a button on the outside of the upper arm and a tab on the inner side, which can be used to hitch up the sleeve).

Where is the penultimate shirt from? Would assume Gap from the 1969 stamp but can't see anything like that on their site (UK version)

I just searched pictures on tumblr with the term "popover" but I guess it's really from GAP. Might be from an older season...
