    Sports shirts under $50

    Does anyone have a preferred brand for casual shirts? I try not to spend more than $50 for a sports shirt. J Crew, Banana, and Club Monaco are poor options. I've heard Red Fleece from Brooks Brothers is not any better than those there. Who do y'all think is the best bang for your buck?
