Spread Collar

Does anyone else besides me really dislike the spread collar crazy that is currently afflicting button down shirts? I like my button down shirts to fit trim (not blousy) but the only trim, affordable shirts I find are spread collar, which looks terrible with a tie imho. But then sizing is also really messed up - I picked up a Levi's Chambray shirt from their sale rack, very nice, workman vintage look, but to get it to fit right I had to get a medium (I am 5'11", 195lbs)! Oh well, at least it doesn't have a spread collar...

So where are good places to get a nice shirt without the dreaded spread collar?
