@northsouthdenimguy here is a fit pic. Looking at photos and given my wife's feedback I think the shirt looks fine as is (again a bit long) but I can also still fit it over a Samurai Sashiko work shirt (which I'm wearing today). But I wouldn't typically wear this kind of shirt over one of those. I prefer a tee.

I decided to try and shrink it but my washer wouldn't fill up enough to fully saturate the shirt for some reason so I pivoted and put it in very hot water in the tub. Modest improvement in some measurements while others stayed the same but overall it tightened the feel of the fit enough for my satisfaction although it looks mostly the same. I didn't put in the dryer because I'm a coward.
Btw I think this shirt would be absolutely amazing with hand warmer pockets like a CPO.
