Long body people - where do you get decent quality long sleeve t shirts?

[sockgate]

I'm fed up of t shirts exposing half my back or shrinking in the first wash. I would like long, thick, 100% cotton long sleeve t shirts. Please tell me they exist?!

lurk

Sorry - I don't have the answer but I'm jumping on because I have the same problem.

I've just bought a couple from gap tall range - really long and cosy - great for a layer underneath jumper

I'd also like to know the answer to this. And I'd also like a coat or jacket with a nice tie on the waist to give it shape but the ties are always up round my ribs

Jack Wills (off ebay, as they never have much choice when you go in).

All Saints, Superdry, Free People all do tops with long bodies and sleeves, as it's the fashion with that type of shop.

I also have some from Gap, but you have to look for the right ones as their tops are all different, but some are great and often come in tall.
For example I love these, but they're lightweight rather than thick cotton, but it's worth a look to see if they have this style in the weight you want.

Also Baukjen do them but v expensive and I've never fancied them.

Also long vests are often easier to find - for example Hush, Boden and H&M do good longline vests – then layer underneath your shorter t-shirts.

Thank you, sorry to hear others have the same problem! @Albie6, do you have a link to the ones that you rate please? Like a pp, I find Gap has a range of weights and it's hard to tell which is which from the website.

A tall friend wears a lots of Uniqlo stuff.

Do the longer body ones, like Gap, have longer arms too? I find it nigh on impossible to get long sleeve tshirts that don't end up three quarter length.

I also do what Stigma suggests and wear long vest tops under tshirts.

There were some cotton long sleeve in Dorothy Perkins a couple of weeks back. Long enough for me and it's a problem I share. Quite impressed so far but not sure how they'll be after a bit of washing.

Not sure if the link works but it's called featherweight crewneck tee

The Gap tall tops have fabulous long arms, I am 6ft with arms like a monkey and they reach past my wrist

Brilliant passthecake thanks. I recently measured my arm span and it came to more than my height, so yeah monkey arms here too
