I see these going for $30 at Macys, Walmart, and Nordstrom Rack USA websites right now in multiple styles.

You can also try asking the Costco manager if they will be reordering the SKU, couldn’t hurt lol.

Sometimes you just have to pay for quality. You can calculate the price-per-wear which might take the sting out. A high quality linen shirt will last forever.

It happens to the best of us. Maybe try second hand markets like Ebay?

My closet is random tops that are L, LT, XL, XL Slim fit, XLT Slim, etc. When buying off the rack, the fit is always so random! So much so that when something fits well I buy a few more just in case I like them, provided the store has a generous return policy.

This all reminds me of my favorite shirt: a black v-neck with shallow vertical ribbing that I found at Kohls on clearance ten years ago. The texture is so soft and interesting, everyone's first instinct is to feel the fabric. I have four that I've collected over the years shopping Kohls clearance in-store as I travel for work, and another that was gifted from my uncle. We were at a funeral and I had a bit of a moment when I saw it on him. He gave it to me a week later. Love you, Uncle!
