I'm needing to locate a dealer (both online or order phone ok) which
will sell and ship me the following dress shirt.  I have one, which
was purchased at Macy's in Honolulu, HI.  However, I need to locate
four more for immediate purchase.  Here are the specifics:

Brand: Polo by Ralph Lauren
Style: Andrew
Size: 15-32
Cuffs: French Cuffs
Material: 100% Cotton
Color: White 

I need *four* of them, and the shirt must be exact to these
specifications, including the French style cuffs.

Thank you.  I'm starting a new job and am in the middle of oral exams,
and don't have time to research this.

Greetings rockabillylibrarian-ga,

The first obvious choice was macys.com, which was not successful. They
do however carry the Andrew style of Pants.

I next searched google.com with the following: "polo ralph lauren"
andrew shirt
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22polo+ralph+lauren%22+andrew+shirt

I found then the website for Ralph Lauren which is
http://www.polo.com/. At their website, I was able to immediately
locate an Andrew Shirt, however, it was striped! Not what you want.

I next searched http://www.bluefly.com/ and found that they carry
three of the Andrew Shirt, but not white. They have an orange with
white stripes, grey and blue with white stripes.

I have found such an item from a retailer in Australia. Their website
is http://www.browseffm.com.au/polos.cfm. The retail price for the
shirt is $109.00, though they don't specify, I presume it would be
Australian dollars. You can visit http://www.xe.com/ucc/ to convert
this into your home country currency. Because you originally bought
the item in Hawaii, I will presume you are from the US and perform
that conversion for you. $109.00 AUD is equal to approximately $61.18
US dollars.

Please ask for a clarification prior to rating this answer if it does
not fully meet your expectations.

Best regards,

I was able to find that site too but it's not the same shirt.  That
shirt has a logo on the front, but I'm needing a business shirt. 
Also, they do not mention that the shirt has French cuffs.

Greetings again,

I am so sorry for missing the French Cuffs, my regrets.  I have called
by telephone Polo in New York and spent quite some time on the phone
with their customer service department (888-475-7674), and am sad to
report that the style of shirt you are interested in was discontinued
some time ago. As a favor, the customer service representative checked
the inventory in all their outlet and factory stores to see if there
were any shirts remaining, and unfortunately there are not.

I will continue to check the internet to see if I can locate some
lingering in a smaller retailers inventory and post the results here.

Thank you.

Needed answer right away.  Answer was not adequate.  Google's
reposting system is too slow and I must find them locally right now.
