I'm trying to find a soft spearpoint collar shirt, more casual and unlikely to be worn with a tie. Been watching a few documentaries and short films about post war cycling and a lot of these about in Europe in the 30s to 40s.
Looking for something that can be worn for camping, gentle cycle touring and hiking. Maybe a brushed or slubby cotton and certainly a light plain colour. Something that doesn't need much ironing.
I've got several Chester Cordite, which are superb for formal wear, but they don't make anything quite suitable. SJC have their long sleeve polo's with the standard placket, but they've only a red right now and also I find their darker colours tend to fade a little.

This is the only thing that looks about right, but does anyone know how much the shirts shrink with wear and how generous the collars are? I'm somewhere between a 16 and 16.5.
