shirt advice for long arms

[freedavebrown]

I have very long arms - (37 inch or so) and I have trouble finding shirts that fit. Any advice on some nice shirts I can get that come in long sizes?

TM Lewin shirts come in up to 38" sleeves and are very nice.

Try Jantzen, a made to measure tailor in Hong Kong. US$50 a pop. They do mail order as well.

Yeah, you're probably best off with MTM... I know some companies do a 35'' sleeve, but I've never encountered anything longer.

BB's select program is what I often use for my shirts. The turnaround time is not too long.

I know thi is an old thread, but I figured it would be better to bring this one from the dead than to start a new one. I'm having the same issue with my dress shirts. I've looked at makers like Harvie and Hudson, Hilditch and Key, and TM Lewin (to name a few), and I've had no luck finding button cuff dress shirts with a 37" or 38" shirt sleeve. Is MTM pretty much my only option at this point?

Depending on your neck size, Eton do longer shirt sleeves.

Thanks for the responses. My neck size is a 17/17.5 depending on the shirt.

I have been thinking about taking a look at Eton shirts lately, but I've always wondered if they were worth the $150 price. Any insight on this, Mac?.

I've also gotten more into Brooks Brothers clothing lately. There is an outlet very close to my house. I will definitely have to check it out.

I love my Eton shirts and while I'd love to buy RLPL, too often they only come in sleeve length of 35/36" for a 17" neck which is useless for me.

I wear a 17" neck and the sleeve and half yoke length of Eton are 37 3/4"—perfect. [plug] The material is truly amazing, it doesn't crease and the MOP buttons are gorgeous. I will definitely buy a load more [/plug]

One doesn't have to buy them from the Eton website, other places often stock them for cheaper.
