What would you call a t-shirt with buttons all the way down the front, not just at the top like a henley? And who sells them?

The only non-collared button-down shirt I can think of - for men - that is made of t-shirt material would be like a baseball jersey.

I’ve had such shirts (unisex) that weren’t baseball-related. [Like this.](http://www.karmaloop.com/product/The-SS-Baseball-Shirt-in-Red-/256831)

Thanks for this. I found a site that sells “blank” baseball jerseys.
