This shirt is often called the contract variant shirt and is made by a variety of quality vendors, but I have yet to see a commercial pattern available for this shirt. If you have a little skill in taking measurements and a knowledge of square cut shirts, you can find a nice rendering of one of the several known variant shirts on page 51 of the Columbia Rifles Research Compendium (Vol II) and produce it without a pattern.
