Mens short sleeve shirt

For over a decade and a half I have been buying mens short sleeve shirts from M&S for work. They are worn heavily as I go into the office 4 days out of 5. Now the time has come to buy some more as a couple are looking a bit tired. I went to M&S today and the shirts on offer were very thin, thinner than the ones I bought 2 years ago. Same results with a couple of online outlets such as Cotton Traders. Can anyone advise where I can buy some short sleeve shirts that are not paper thin and see through? Getting really frustrated. I've had this problem with t-shirts and polo necks as well.

    Buy your preferred M&S shirts second hand on vinted or eBay? You can filter for unworn (brand new with tags/ brand new without tags) if you prefer.

    Though I saw that vinted's algorithm seems to be having some trouble today so maybe wait till that settles down.

    Did you check the M&S Oxfords? they should be notably thicker than their poplin, as unfortunately their price reflects
