Let me first off say that I do like the shirt buttttt, does anybody else find it weird how the shirt tapers and then harshly flares out at the bottom???
Was this actually modeled after the original shirt because it doesn't look like that on film; at least not what I can see. Feels weird wearing the shirt not tucked in because it looks so strange. I think you can see that on just about everyone who has sent in a pic.

I'm no expert here, but I would call the slim fit a trait of the 60's or 70's. It didn't hurt any that Mr. Ford was thin in the middle. This was after all, a tailored shirt. It made him look good as his shoulders appear broad, and waist narrow. That's a costume designer's job. Most regular folks don't get a tailored safari shirt.
As far as the flare at the bottom - measure your hips, then measure your waist. If you're in shape your hips should measure out a little larger than your waist. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with that kind of fit.
Then again, if each one of us were fitted to our shirts instead of buying them off of the rack, they could be tailored to make any shape look good. I'm starting my "thin as Indy" workout and diet regimen, but I'm not getting too far with it!
