Where to buy a linen collarless pullover in the UK?

So I've been looking for a collarless linen pullover (or should it be called a popover? The ones with buttons that don't go all the way down) shirt - mainly looking for off-white but am flexible colour-wise. Hopefully keeping the cost below £40 but if that's not possible then I'll consider spending more.

If you can't help me with the above, could anyone perhaps tell me the proper name for a shirt like this? I tried grandad shirt but they seem to be more tight-fitting stretch cotton things rather than a loose fitting summery shirt.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sounds quite rare. Luxire should have some. OR, buy a popover and make it a have that collar. Cut the collar away, pretty sure someone did that here...

I've done it on a regular button up. You just cut the collar off at the seams and tweeze out the loose threads. It's actually quite easy and looks really good.

You're looking for a band/mandarin/grandad collared pop over. Really quite uncommon.

Looks like I'll be buying a regular popover and taking the collar off myself - thanks all!

Where from? I'm also looking for something similar. Are you planning on wearing it casually similar to an untucked OCBD?

Not really sure in all honesty - was just gonna pop into town and see if I could find one, assumed it wouldn't be too hard but now I've been googling it seems that even that is a struggle!

All Saints usually have some, check on eBay.

I think this from Cos might be exactly what you're looking for?

This looks really good actually, wish it was a little cheaper but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks.

If you're willing to wait, the Cos sale usually goes to 50% off

I actually have one. I think this is what you're looking for.

I had to have Luxire make it. I've never seen anyone else make a shirt like this.

That's exactly what I want, how much did that run you?

It was definitely more expensive than your budget, but I don't recall exactly. Luxire has their standard pricing up on their website.

I figured as much. Looks to be £80+ on the website. I guess I'll do a DIY job for now and then perhaps try Luxire when I'm earning some money next year or something. Thanks a lot for the help!

I think the name you're looking for is 'Henley'. Espirt usually has them.

Thanks but that's not quite what I meant. Sorry, I should've said, it should be like a button-up shirt in style rather than like a T-shirt.

So like this but buttons only going 1/3 or 1/2 way down.
