What are Eddie's short sleeve button down shirts called?

Perennial Tears

Hello,

I have a bunch of short sleeve button down shirts with striped patterns on them that I love wearing so much, but, due to living out my late twenties, my body has taken on weird fruit like shapes and I no longer fit into my old ones anymore.

I moved from San Diego to Chicago recently and can't find those types of shirts anywhere. I used to get them at certain surf shops or even Express for Men.

I'm trying to shop for them on the web but don't know where to look.

Please help.

Hate to be a jerk, but a shirt is only a "button-down" if the collar can be buttoned-down.

Other than that, I have no idea about the answer to this thread.

In our family, we call these "Opie Cunningham" shirts.

The namesake being "Opie" from the Mayberry RFD show and "Cunningham" from Happy Days.

I remember the old Saturday Night Live skit where Eddie Murphy was calling Ron Howard "Opie Cunningham" and he got all bent out of shape...
