My guess, gleaned form modern tailoring, is that the issue is posture. It
usually indicates that the shoulders are rolled forward. I am not sure how to

When I've had this problem on modern shirts it's usually been because
the neckline at the back isn't cut deep enough, so the shirt shifts to

My two cents:
1) My late brother used to wear men's large Danskin ballet tights as long
underwear under his (fashionably tight) jeans. I mention the male-dancer's
tights as they might fit Bjarne better -- tights or pantyhose that are too
small get uncomfortable pretty fast, either pulling on
