So AAFES is completely sold out of short-sleeve shirts.
Vanguard only has sizes for 12-year-olds.
Salute doesn't carry short-sleeve shirts at all.
Checked eBay, can't find anything in my size.
Local Surplus Store doesn't have any.
Does anyone know another source for short-sleeve shirts?
I've seen some Pilots stores online that carry light blue pilot shirts, but the color on my computer seems a little brighter than the USAF light blue. They look exactly like the USAF shirts but I don't want to spend $60.00 if they don't meet the specs or the blue color is noticeably incorrect.
I have a really nice Brooks Brothers long-sleeve shirt but when summer gets here, that's going to be a bit hot, so I'm looking for a short-sleeve.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well crap, you listed my three primary sources.
If you find a long sleeve for short money you can have the sleeves cut and hemmed. The shirts are identical except for the sleeves.

I wish, my Brooks Brothers was $75.00. I'm not going to spend that again plus another $25+ to have them cut the sleeves off. :-(
Reading this with all the logistical and supply issues with our near and dear Vanguard just solidifies the thought of a whole new corporate uniform or polos. Yeah, buying a long sleeve 1505 or whatever for 75 and slicing and hemming sleeves for 25 when Pilot Mall has LS shirts in 15-30 dollar range...makes more sense....but again CAP...Come And Pay

So is it all of AAFES that is sold out or just the store you went to?
Because there are blue shirts on the shelves of the store at March ARB, CA...

According to the online store, https://www.shopmyexchange.com/ (https://www.shopmyexchange.com/), they are completely sold out, all sizes.
As to a physical location, it's going to be Fort McCoy or Fort Benjamin Harrison, with limited USAF/USSF to begin with and the closest actual Air Force Base is gonna be Scott (maybe?). Grissom ARB doesn't have an AAFES, or least it didn't when I was there last ten+ years ago.
If you can find me a 19/20 inch neck short sleeve shirt there, PM me and I'll make arrangements to pay your for the shirt, shipping and your time.

I can save you the trip to Ft Ben, they don't stock anything Air Force. But, they will measure you and order it. Last summer had to order a blues coat for my daughter and she's small. Had it in like two or three weeks.
