What's the name for the style of shirt that's associated with Western wear, has two breast pockets with flaps, detailed stitching, and generally pearl or imitation-pearl buttons or snaps? (slrpnk.net)

I'm finding it impossible to shop for these because I've only ever bought them in thrift stores and don't know what they're properly called.

Edit: Not looking for flannel or denim, but lighterweight fabric, something I'd wear under a jacket not instead of one.

Maybe you're looking for chambray? Those will have cat-eye buttons instead of pearl snap and no western yoke/front. Denim can be lightweight or heavier too.
