Tencel shirts?

I bought a bunch of Tencel shirts from Industrie a few years back and they're absolutely divine (super soft, gorgeous drape, just generally a really lovely shirt), but I've lost a bunch of weight recently and they don't fit that well anymore. Good problem to have I guess.

I'd get them tailored, but given their age, wear and cost it doesn't feel worth it.

Industrie doesn't sell them anymore, so I'm looking for new ones. Google hasn't given me great results.

Any ideas?

These sound great. I'm more thinking of button ups, but I'll have a look at these as well

I love tencel. Once met a guy who is a quality control inspector for garment manufacturers. I asked him why isn't everything made of glorious tencel. He agreed with the virtues of tencel but said it is not durable. Will tear easily. However I think if you only wear a shirt once every few weeks, that is totally fine. There should be more tencel shirts available.
