Why dont companies make 1/2 sleeve length t shirts for men?

Ive checked online and in shops but t shirts are either short or long sleeved. Occasionally you get 3/4 length but never 1/2 sleeve in length when it comes to mens t shirts.

Women on the other hand are spoilt for choice. Ive come across many for women. I like the half length because you dont feel so self conscious if you havent got the biceps as you havent been training. Long sleeve for the summer doesnt feel right sometimes and, well 3/4 length i like as well.

I think companies need to sort it out. But the sleeves need to be quite fitted.

wow, uncontrol and mattt, i will try check them out. but never heard of those weird sounding companies?

I find half length sleeves when fitted look really good. But so hard to buy and i rarely see men wear them as well.
Only saw Clint Eastwood wear one in the film tightrope. That was nice. They have to be sporty type shirts as well, like nfl looking.

Yes that is ok in the sleeves but i think i like a v neck more. But not that much though as i said. But thanks for that, and i like a sporty print as well.
But something like this is what i mean. As i say women seem to have more choice and the fashion world cater for them more than men.
