My personal replacement for the poplin shirts are the Columbia fishing shirts with the high SPF rating. I don't handle the sun well at all and live in them during the summer. Typically, their original model from many years back was the very best in being long lasting and fitting well. I'm still wearing two old ones as field shirts that absolutely refuse to die and still keep the sun out as well as they did at least 10yrs ago.
They had a fire sale on what must have been last years model shirts at a surplus store here in Denver last summer. They had HUNDREDS of Columbia shirts of all sizes and colors that I guessed Cabelas dumped to make room for the new model shirts. The sizes were all over the board; in some styles a size Sm fit perfect, in others a size Med. Nutso. I sure stocked up for life.
