The LL bean thing probably isn't such a big deal to Americans but they started serving Canada and there's not really a comparable store like that on the west coast here at least. Anyway I recommend those shirts for biking and also just wearing every day.
I'll add a second plug for this top. I was fortunate enough to snag mine at a thrift store for two or three bucks, liked it so much I ordered another. Days like today (high 30s/low 40s) it's perfect for riding with a base layer. Be aware that those of us with longer torsos might not have full backside coverage when riding in the drops.
