Clothes for men with arms like a gibbon

[Popopopipipi]

DS is 13 and has a wingspan of 178cm (and yes he is seeing paediatrics) which given he's incredibly skinny as well means mens size XS or S tops swamp him and still land nearer his elbow than his wrist.

He wants plain long sleeved tshirts, ideally, although he'd accept a pattern/motif. He doesn't like polo shirts or button shirts. I'd like not to spend £££.

Is there anything out there that's going to fit him, and not bankrupt me - or should I give up and leave him in short sleeves all year round? In which case does anyone also have any recommendations for zip up hoodies with zip up pockets and arms long enough for Mr Tickle?

Is he tall too?

He's wider than he is tall. I'm struggling with the waist to length ratio but given he lives in joggers at home I can add elastic; and Asda do school trousers up to age 17 with adjustable waist elastic for beanpoles. But for now it's just his massive stick arms that are the issue.

I've looked at Fatface tall, Next tall, Gap don't do tall men, M&S tall only start in XL sizes.

Not all colours are available but some are

They do zip ups too

Have a look at any of the swim brands. Speedo, Arena, TYR etc as they tend to cater for the broad shouldered and long armed of the world.

2tall was what I had looked at as well. I think the swimming brands is a good call too.

Thanks - 2Tall though look OK but only start at a men's medium which will be massive on him. But otherwise they are the perfect plain long-sleeved tops. So that in an XS or S would be ideal.

I've looked on the main Speedo/TYR/Arena sites and the only long sleeve tops were unisex ones, so unless they are also catering to ape-like women I'm not sure they are going to work out.

Also discounted Boohooman Tall and ASOS Tall for not having anything.

Any here?

I do like the "extra long arms" filter on Zalando. There's one small zip hoody with zip pockets under £70 that would do, unless he reconsiders fleece.

Jacamo also seem to do long long sleeve tshirts.
