@Shield Maiden I've drafted a block based on The cutters’ practical guide to the cutting of ladies’ garments https://archive.org/details/cutterspractical00vinc/ (which I have already used on another jacket), changed the front (successfully) to have an opening and tried to enlarge the sleeve with dubious results.
I'm taking inspiration from various fashion plates and existing garments, but not from a specific one (and the sources vary a bit in the dates, between the second half of the #1880s and the first half of the #1890s).
And I already know that the straight 1880s sleeve from that jacket block works, so I may be tempted to just go with it.

Yesterday we went for a walk and @Diego Roversi took a few pictures of the flannel shirt I've just finished (and I forgot to button it up completely before the pictures were taken, uoooops)
The pattern is always https://sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/historical_menswear/shirts/1880s_shirt/index.html , but I've cut away the excess material in the front rather than pleating it.
