Haberdashers got it right with the cargo pant - those of us with PDAs, cellphones, and iPods appreciate the many and sundry pockets. But it’s summer in Austin, and I for one have no desire to wear heavy bulky cargoes…

Enter my $10 Old Navy shirt. It has one breast pocket, good for one of my techno-gadgets. But I’m greedy. How cool would it be to have a shirt that works in a business-casual environment, with plenty of pockets. Like a Guayabera (“Mexican wedding”) shirt. I will probably get one of those, but guy Dopers with a lot of stuff in your pockets, do you have any favorite shirts you can recommend?

(No fanny packs or vests, thanks!)

Since you are asking for recommendations, this is more suited to IMHO than GQ.

A lot of my co-workers who fish (and my husband, who also fishes) have found the Columbia Sportswear’s [Performance Fishing Gear](http://www.columbia.com/product.aspx?p=7834&cat=1&top=1&keyword=fishing+shirts&topCatSearchName=All+Categories&topCatSearchId=0&viewAll=False&currPage=1&searchType=keyword&activityId=0&activityName=&currFilterType=category&allFilters=catFilterId%3d0%7ccatFilterName%3dAll+Categories*catFilterId%3d1%7ccatFilterName%3dMen's) shirts to be great for working in a business casual environment. They’re nice-looking shirts with craploads of pockets and features, and they come in long and short-sleeve styles. Plus they have sun protection built right into the fabric, so they’re great for their original purpose of being outdoor-wear, too.
