   Hi, I need some new shirts for work, but I'm pretty tall and have very long arms so most "normal" shirts are too short (and some longer shirts are like tents on me). M&S do some that are 2" longer, but I've already got the ones I like. Does anyone know of anywhere else that do longer shirts at a reasonable price? Thanks.

   Next Slim fit sir. Not that long on the arms but still fine.

   Lewins are the only OTP shirts with a long enough sleeve for me. Have a look at their slim fit - I wear the 17.5" collar with a 38" sleeve - nobody else does that sleeve. I believe I am mostly simian.

    +1 for Charles Thyritt.

    Basically you just tell them how long you want the sleeves. (though I don't know how long they can go up to, 36" was fine for me)

    M&S made to measure made for them by bivolino but better value

    seem to be a lot of these places now. Advantage of M&S is it doesn't need a mass of measurements - they do a remarkably good job off little more than height/weight/age/collar size.

    Others are cheaper though

    T M Lewin, do regular, long and extra long sleeve, good quality and 5 for £100 at the moment.

    just buy some sweatbands in contrasting colours that way you won't suffer cold wrists and yoou'll be cutting a dash with your own fashion statement?

    Debenhams do a few extra long versions, they fit me well, though I noticed one of the fancy shirt shops on George St in Edinburgh is the same price and do all sorts of sizes so have a look around your area.

    The slim fit ones with extra long sleeves are great. I bought a couple of their non-iron ones which have been a revelation.

    And they always have a special offer on.
