longer length shirts/t-shirts for men

DH is 6'2", so not enormously tall - but he has a very long back and arms (I realise I am making him sound very attractive Grin), normal shirts are far too short, and never stay tucked in or ride up exposing his belly.

He is also skinny, and any shirts for tall people seem to assume tall people are big chested too. So any ideas would be very welcome, before the hot weather really kicks in and he gets an embarrassing line of sun burn round his middle.

Dh has been buying his shirts from Banana Republic recently and reckons they are the best fit for length - he's 6'3 with long arms

Thanks for the suggestion Bubble, - I hadn't thought of looking in there. Smile

M & S do a small range of shirts 2" longer than the normal ones - OK for work, but not particularly high fashion.

This place do longer clothing, most of the range is aimed for the wider man but they also cater for the extra tall too. My dh is 6'8" and has a long back. We used to buy a lot from here but haven't for a few years now so I don't know what the quality is like.

thank you both, - he has a shirt from M and S AuntySib which is quite nice, - but as you say its a work shirt, not very exciting, I couldn't find their tall range when I was last instore - maybe they only do it online now.

whyme2 - I'll bookmark that site, there aren't many things in his chest size atm, but it looks as if they do sometimes have things in smaller chest sizes.

Must be more of a problem for your DH, - mine is fine with trousers, as I say he's not really that tall and his legs are within the usual range of trousers, but his back is very long, and he stoops slightly which makes shirts ride up even more.
