Sleeves or lack of.

Neither style or beauty but wondering where to get actual T shirts rather than things with a body and cap 'sleeves'. Sleeves that go to the elbow.

Thanks for the links, they're just so expensive.

M&S are usually good for this kind of thing they do different sleeve length although I haven't seen their selection this year

Failing that and depending on what type of fit you want I have had some great ones from the mens department at H&M as long as you are not wanting them to be fitted and are happy with a baggier style

M&S do loads with sleeves.

I found long and cap sleeves at M&S but nothing with sleeves that are long enough. I can't be the only one that doesn't want bingo wings flapping about? Even the men's selection seem to be suffering from it. Can only think it must be 'economising' on cloth. Can't even find them in charity shops. :(

Sorry as in t shirt length. Plenty of wrist length ones about which I have enough of.

Oh sorry - I do not wear anything other than long sleeve usually!

imapterodactyl · 10/05/2023 19:32

M&S, new look and primark are my usual places for those. New look had a load in last year but I haven't checked this year yet.

hermioneee · 10/05/2023 19:37

M&S relaxed look ones definitely have sleeves that go almost to elbow. I know this as that length looks awful on me so i spent yesterday looking for cap sleeves!

Seasalt do some with 3/4 length sleeves if that's any good?

On their website there is a v neck version called talent, and a round neck called reflection in various colours.

They also have some last season ones on their official ebay outlet sometimes, i've just found this one, you have to be lucky for it to be your size, but worth keeping an eye out!

I really appreciate all the suggestions. I have loads of t shirts with the sleeve length I like but all either have logos on them, paint, old stains or are falling apart. Cap sleeves seem to be the only thing I can find. There was one in budget sainsbury's range that went mid bingo wing but that was the closest I could find recently... Will just keep looking!

Uniqlo is great quality. Mine are 8 years old

mewkins · 11/05/2023 12:15

Uniqlo or H and M. Gap are usually pretty good for this too.

Hi OP - Cotton Traders have some with a longer sleeve so might be worth looking at their website.

ZaZathecat · 12/05/2023 16:51

Cotton Traders?

chaosmaker · 13/05/2023 17:44

The H&M ones look good, thanks. I should maybe try things marketed at over 50's as well. Didn't think of cotton traders either, even though their quality is really good. Have good rainwear from them. :)
