Thanks!  The soak helped a lot. I didn't truly boil soak yet. It may be perfect then!

@Megatron1505:

The "ballooning" effect is what happens on vintage fit shirts.

I should point out that I was talking mainly about the upper portion of the arms, meant to write this but was momentarily distracted by something shiny.

I love the ballooning now that some shrinkage has dialed it back. That's one of the reasons I picked up the shirt, it's damn cool.

I am also a fan of ballooned arms, it's an authentic design feature of 50's (and earlier) era work shirts.

Here's something new I'm working on

English cord.  Arms are dialled in and fitted, about 14oz.
You think white buttons or the black is okay?

[jdl1279]

I like the black, almost because I would expect white. If you contrast stitch white would be better, but as is black looks sleek.

Beautiful…

Very nice. I like the black buttons.

[mclaincausey]

MoP buttons would look regal too

Gotta get that corduroy… the shirring combined with dat fabric really is gorgeous, reminds me of the curtains at an old fashioned theatre.
