Recs for shirts with buttonless pocket flaps
I like the style of this shirt, made from a lightweight fabric, with rounded and buttonless pocket flaps on each chest, and which can be worn untucked. They seem nice for warm weather.

Does anyone know of other, similar ones they could recommend? I'm interested in other patterns, colors, etc.

Open collar long sleeve shirt in mint green cotton organza
"Organza isn't the typical fabric you'll find in menswear but honestly, this shirt has me thinking it should. The cotton feels great on the skin and the light, sheer nature of the organza feels like you should be anywhere the sun is beaming a bit too hard and/or the breeze is blowing.

NMWA (needs an appointment), CHCM, Colbo, and Cueva all have NYC locations if you want to check out stuff in person
Or use their brand lists to search secondhand
if you want second hand these are “loop collar shirts” and were popular in the 50s and 60s. Some brands were Arrow and Towncraft
most of these are bad fabric blends or a bit beat up however
Thank you!
