any shirts like this/these/that/those


Explanation:
Agree with Julia but think that the "any" is more idiomatic.

Also, depending on the context.

If the speaker is standing before a salesperson holding one shirt:

Do you have any shirts like this?

If standing holding two or more shirts:

Do you have any shirts like these?

Describing one specific shirt on the phone:

Do you have any shirts like that?

Describing two or more shirts on the phone:

Do you have any shirts like those?
