where do i get Extra Long Sleeve Shirts from??

i was wondering if anybody knows where to get extra long sleeve shirts from.

basically, i have a little problem where according to my neck size, when ever im recommended a size to wear, suck as 16.5, the sleeves are never long enough. i seem to have longer arms than the average.

i herd that you can get 'extra long sleeved shirts from somewhere but wasnt sure where.

any suggestions?
thanks in advance,

skiddy

    Try M&S and Littlewoods, they have had them in before, perhaps look online first to save you trawling around the stores.

    Good Luck

    Or maybe a High & Mighty store. I recently had a tailor-made suit and some shirts done by www.raja-fashions.com, I have the opposite problem to you and they were really good and costs £35 each, I've paid £90 for tailor-made shirts in the past

    Have a look at https://www.CTShirts.co.uk
    they do loads there, and you can select the sleeve length (upto 36" i think). They also have loads of offers like 50% off, etc.....
    Thoroughly recomend them, as the quality is brilliant.
    Hope that helps....

  • Try TM Lewin who do shirts with 38" sleeves. I also have a 16.5" neck and long arms and get all my formal shirts from there.

    38" sleeves?

    I think we may have found the missing link. Never mind "lift your heels", lift your knuckles!

    My stepdad has very long arms (not because he's a neanderthal, just because he's tall lol) and he likes the shirts made by Eterna. They're a Swiss brand, and they do an extra-long arm version. They're definitely not cheap - I think they're about £50 each - but they last extremely well and wash really nicely.
  • For Regular Fit shirts both TM Lewin (Prince of Wales Regular Fit) and Charles Tyrwhitt (Classic Fit) do a 38 inch arm length for a 16.5 inch neck. For Slim Fit TM Lewin (Windsor Slim Fit) do a 38 inch sleeve in the 16.5 inch neck.

    I'm a newbie so can't post links, but you should be able to find them in Google.
