Looking for men's plain (ideally pale blue) short sleeve shirts easy/non iron for tall man with wide shoulders

He's 6ft 2 with a fairly long body and all the shirts he's tried recently are too tight in the shoulders and too baggy round the tummy.
Has anyone's other half found any good shirts recently that might fit him.
He's got broad shoulders, only ever wears short sleeved shirts, needs to wear a tie for work so has to be a proper shirt.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

He used to be able to get ones that fit him from the M&S Big & Tall range but they don't do the ones that fit him any more.

Thanks in advance (I'm going off for the weekend now and will be back on Monday, so I'm not ignoring you if you reply!!)

Tapered have some, they're on the expensive side but last a while and wash well. Blue Short Sleeve Tapered Fit Shirt - Muscle Fit | Tapered Menswear

No suggestions but when you find them, post photos with him in them, to prove it happened.

My dh is a similar shape/ height and wears Charles Tyrwhitt shirts which are very ironing friendly, and in the slim fit they don't have lots of fabric round the waist. However the formal ones only come in long sleeve, but an alterations person could easily make them short sleeved.

Why would I need to do that? (genuine question!)

@xmasdealhunter and @@CMOTDibbler- thanks very much for the useful suggestions.
It's a good point about getting long sleeved shirts altered, I'd ruled Charles Tyrwhitt out because of that, but I think I can find someone locally to do this (a new business, the previous person moved miles away!)

You don't need to! Sorry, to mislead you. I have a particular fondness for broad shoulders and blue shirts...

Came onto to suggest Charles Trhwitt as well.

NB look out for their 4 shirts for £100 type offers.

Sorry nothing constructive to add but I now can't stop thinking about Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy AKA Blue Shirt Guy if you haven't seen it. Hope you find a shirt and post a pic.
