Need recommendations for a long sleeve work shirt that won't have me sweating my arse off. Preferably something button down. I was looking at the Columbia Tamiami as a starting point. TIA

Seersucker? It's about as cool as you can get as far as fabrics you might find in a long sleeve buttondown.

LL Bean has a few.

Sounds like somebody doesn't want the boss man seeing their full sleeve tattoos

Hope you're not working in Louisiana, because you're shite out of luck.
If you're doing any of the "work" I think you'll be doing, Columbia shirts probably ain't a good idea. Get you some cheap dickies from the Walmart and call it a day.

You going to be working outside?

Hot work?

Need flame retardant clothing?

You going to be getting dirty?

Just something casual?

If you want something fancier, Peter Millar makes shirts that feel like fishing shirts but look like normal collared shirts. Crown Sport

Also can't go wrong with the Ex Officio Air Strip LINK

Most fishing shirts will fit the bill. However depending on the type of work, they are very prone to snagging and ripping. Some are more durable than others.

FWIW: When I go on West Texas dove hunts (HOT AF) I wear the 511 Tac Lite shirt. It's a bit heavier, but still vented/breathable and very durable.

When I crawfish and its hot now (like right now) I just wear a long sleeve cotton shirt or long sleeve t shirt. Because my gloves come halfway up my arm. A "crawfisherman" tan (basically just your elbows) is waaaaay worse than a "farmers tan"
