Comfortable button down shirts?

Does anyone have any suggestions for comfortable button down shirts? I have several Charles Tyrwhitt shirts, but they really don't have much flexibility if you go up 10-15 pounds (due to bulking) and they get really uncomfortable. I don't want to buy a ton of new shirts since I plan on cutting back down in a few months, but I will if I have to. Are there any shirts that are still nice but are more flexible and comfortable?

Honestly dude I don’t think such a product exists - could be completely wrong though.

 

Any shirt that says "4-Way Stretch" or "Performance Fabric" is going to be more comfortable than pure cotton. Plenty of those to go around (State-and-Liberty, Eton, Mizzen+Main, Twillory, Tyrwhitt may even have one).

I would just keep in mind that most 4-way stretch shirts are a polyester/spandex blend which, although softer, does not breath as well as cotton (e.g. you may sweat more walking outside in the summertime).

If you go up 15 pounds, just buy a bigger size? 

Suddenly your 16.5" neck is 17". Done.
