It's the Canyon River Blues brand and it was $9.99. They had it in several colors.

If you have Lucky brand, I've loved a top I got at their store. Here is a similar one: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3053579/0~2376780~6009391~6014238~6014242~6014250?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6014250&P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....0&P=1</a> See what Sweet Pea has too. I have two with half sleeves that I got last year. With Angie's instructions I cut the long sleeves shorter on another Sweet Pea top. The nylon doesn't fray or need hemming. Both brands can be pricey, but they can be found on sale Ariadne on "Hunting for half-sleeve tees and tops" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-for-half-sleeve-tees-and-tops#post-85320 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:44:04 +0000 Ariadne 85320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'll check the Sears Canada website--thanks!

I hope you can all stock up! The only one that's possibly available to me in Canada and is in my size and price range are the Old Navy ones. I'll try to find time to go look for them, because they're a lot less expensive than the Down East Basics ones. The JCrew tees stretched out quickly, but even more importantly, the sleeves flared out a bit at the elbows, which was very unflattering and kind of odd-looking.

I was just wondering why the J.Crew ones didn't work out for you? (good to know, so we can avoid similar issues in the future). Inge on "Hunting for half-sleeve tees and tops" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-for-half-sleeve-tees-and-tops#post-84915 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 10:36:36 +0000 Inge 84915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know what you mean Brianna, and I agreed wholeheartedly with everything Angie wrote in that post. I get SO frustrated about this! It seems as if I'm always looking for elbow length sleeved tops and dresses, and they're never around (or only a few each season, and then usually in colours or cuts I don't like, and usually just very plain, while I like all sorts of funky details). I'm actually considering doing what Ana's planning to do. Okay, rant over. These are a few I have bookmarked during the last few months. Hope there's something suitable here for you! <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Design-History-plum-jersey-twisted-scoopneck-tunic-top/SEARCH/214321200/detail.fly" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/Design-.....detail.fly</a> <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Zooey-rosewood-cotton-crewneck--length-sleeve-t-shirt/COLOR_CROSS-SELL/301399005/detail.fly" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/Zooey-r.....detail.fly</a> <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Leo---Sage-white-pima-button-boat-neck-t-shirt/cat590370/300152103/detail.fly" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/Leo---S.....detail.fly</a> <a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Bailey-44-storm-jersey-sharpei-sleeve-top/cat20212/301723502/detail.fly" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/Bailey-.....detail.fly</a> <a href="http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=501784573&view=80&No=80&N=1603984&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D80%26No%3D80%26N%3D1603984&R=03004968" rel="nofollow">http://www.dillards.com/webapp.....R=03004968</a> <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7526&pid=595957&scid=595957072&redirect=true" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....irect=true</a> <a href="http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Supply-Co-Elbow-Sleeve-Scoopneck/dp/B001GI0LMW/sr=1-2/qid=1232752202/ref=sr_1_2/189-1221068-4543837?ie=UTF8&pricerange=&index=target&field-browse=1041790&rh=k%3Aelbow&page=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/Mossimo-.....038;page=1</a> <a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/productDetailWithPicker.jsp?productId=prod1460002&categoryId=&addFacet=SRCH%3Aelbow" rel="nofollow">http://www.nyandcompany.com/ny.....CH%3Aelbow</a> <a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=EC-244192&page=1&cgname=OSCLOALSZZZ&rfnbr=6490" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....rfnbr=6490</a> <a href="http://www.express.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=20219&parentCategoryId=2&categoryId=9&subCategoryId=11" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/catalog.....egoryId=11</a> (by the way, especially for colder seasons, I would not ignore deeper V-necks and scoopnecks per se, I'd just go for something like this and wear a tissue weight turtleneck top (long-sleeved) underneath...

I haven't found any other half-sleeve tops. I was planning on buying some tops with long sleeves and just having the sleeves hemmed to elbow length. Could you layer a half sleeved top over a cami if the neck is too low? Ariadne on "Hunting for half-sleeve tees and tops" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hunting-for-half-sleeve-tees-and-tops#post-84839 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 00:20:06 +0000 Ariadne 84839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie's post about sleeve lengths got me thinking about this again. I really need some half-sleeve tops and layering tees for fall, and I know I'm not the only one. I bought some at JCrew in the late spring but they were a total fail and are now at the consignment store. Someone on the blog post mentioned Down East Basics and if I don't have any success in local brick-and-mortar stores I may order a few of this style: <a href="https://www.downeastbasics.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=631" rel="nofollow">https://www.downeastbasics.com.....ProdID=631</a> I need the higher neckline at the moment because my baby will yank down anything lower and show the world my bra! I may consider the V-neck version but I'd probably have to layer under it to avoid the bra reveal issue: <a href="https://www.downeastbasics.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=655" rel="nofollow">https://www.downeastbasics.com.....ProdID=655</a> Who's found them in other places, and where?
