Léine on me?

I remember from my Rev War reenacting days that the shirts were aactually quite long, and once you got used to where the shoulders were, were pretty comfortable. I like your idea for "the look", a nice linen shirt with a standup collare and black cravat, say late 18th early 19th century! Only problem then becomes the proper jacket, that won't be cheap by any means

I suppose the appropriate style of jacket for this purpose may be somewhat open to debate? One might attempt to approximate a contemporary fashion to the style of shirt chosen; or, merely adopt one that looks smart with it. ;-)
