I’ve seen this type of button up white shirt with wide arms in a bunch of older music videos like this one (3:18 minutes in):

Anyone know of a search term for these?

Thanks

Ohh what a tune.

Its what would have been considered a plain white shirt at the time (1980s), style had moved back towards fuller cuts. Given that the shirtmakers have often 3 different skinny fits, I'd look for classic fits. You can see there's at least 12" of wearing ease on the shirt in the video, if not more so compare that with measurements on the manufacturers sites.
