Jumpers with sleeves for long arms!

Please could I have some recon for places to buy jumpers with long enough sleeves. I'm quite tall but not extremely, about 5'8". I must have unusually long arms and I can't find any jumpers with long enough sleeves! Please help Smile

I have this problem with M&S, I find everything is very short in the body and arms.
Currently got a TU jumper in from a couple of years ago with a decent length sleeve.

I’m 5’9 and get jumpers from the tall range in next.

I have the same problem. I buy lots from Olive.

Not a jumper, but I have a zip up hoodie from Rapanui with very long sleeves. rapanuiclothing.com/product/women-denim-blue-zip-hoodie/

Men's jumpers are longer in the arms and body and often made of better quality materials for the same price.

If you can afford it, go for some of the scandi brands like Stine Goya or Fabien Chapot, a lot of independent boutiques stock their stuff as well as online shops. They're very long in the arms. I have to get most of mine shortened. I asked my local boutique if they were getting anymore Fabien Chapot stuff in, and they said they stopped carrying it because it was too long in the arms. Most scandi people are taller than Brits.

I'll take a look at some of these recommendations, thank you :)

I was looking at the jumpers on Rapanui but I've had some leggings from there, the first pair one of the seams unraveled within a month, they replaced them and now the new pair the same thing has happened to the waistband after only a few months so it's put me off a bit. 😒

Didn't think about mens as an option, worth investigating! Especially as I like black and neutral colours.

Oh my, I love this. Probably out of my price range unfortunately

The Scandi brands like Cos and Arket always look long in the arm. Ive not tried them but I have relatively long arms.

Lots of H&M jumpers have very long arms, especially their premium range. The premium range are also some of the best wearing wool and cashmere jumpers I have ever owned!

MaizeAmaze · 09/01/2022 21:02

My uniqlo jumpers have decent arms, but I'm a bit shorter than you.

waitingforsun · 09/01/2022 21:09

Adding those to the list! I've never shopped at most of these places!

Roman Originals jumpers are long in the sleeve too 😀

A perennial problem for me, but weirdly Tescos came up trumps just before Christmas! DD bought me a couple of super soft jumpers from there with very long sleeves!

WestrayWife · 09/01/2022 21:15

Try Me&Em - I got a jumper in their sale and the arms are very long but, thankfully for me, also look good turned up. Pricey but great quality.

PlatinumBrunette · 09/01/2022 21:16

Oh, and I’ve hear that Boohoo have a tall section but I’ve not yet tried.

Take a look on Vinted, for Long Tall Sally clothes.
Arm lengths are much better
