As of right now, I am seeing that shirts offered by Cliff Keen and Smitty are the best shirts to buy right now. If anyone has another distributor that they really like, please chime in.

Best combination of value, comfort, sizing and price in the medium-weight fabric: Smitty
Best quality and durability in the medium-weight fabric, but undersized and pricey: Honig's
Very good lightweight pinhole mesh shirt: Dalco
Another quality medium-weight shirt, but very pricey: PlusPOS (what you can find of them)
Yet another very pricey quality shirt: Cliff Keen (however, their Gerry Davis Signature line is an awful shirt at any price.)
Jock-sniffer's choice: Majestic
Ump-Attire's line is well-received, but I haven't tried one yet
But the main thing is to not get sucked into buying any of those ridiculous, non-standard Official's Choice shirts. They are routinely an off-color shade, or sport non-standard trim patterns. (I think that when you consider that they make red ball bags, it's a questionable operation at the least.)
