Even the big box stores like Bass Pro and Cabela's carry some pretty decent SPF rated clothing.

As always, I may be wrong (LOL)... but.... this whole SPF clothing fad seems phoney. ANY piece of clothing I have ever had will block most of the sun's rays. My pasty white arms and legs will attest to that!

OK, maybe not my black see-through shirt I go clubbing in, but....

It's highly dependent on Colour. I've given up wearing white shirts as I will burn through them. Mind you having little to no pigment left I burn extremely easily. Seems that UV blocking clothing could help with not having to wear black in 30 degree weather or having to marinate in sunscreen before leaving the house.

Pipestone travel sells some.
Always been a big fan of exofficio clothing. Uv quality, high thread count. Product lasts for years.like the underwear, shirts & shorts and few of the pants.
My 2 cents.

I got a couple of these shirts during one of the free shipping sale a little while back.

Got one of each colour, they do not show you the back online, it has a large cabelas logo across the back but even still I am happy with them
