Looking for recommendations of men's clothes brands for longer bodies/sleeves

The body part is not so essential but DH has long gangly arms and trying to buy anything long sleeved which has a long enough sleeve for him is difficult. If online clothes stores would list the measurements of their garments shopping would be much easier.

I'm looking for a plain navy or dark green shirt in brushed cotton/flannel/poplin/twill. Where should I look. Budget closer to £50 than £100. 50 - 60 age group.

Anyone? No other gangly armed DH's out there? 😃

The DH makes much of how Cordings are noteworthy for doing men’s shirts in 15 collar 35 sleeve, which I infer equates to gangly. He’d buy all his clothes there if I didn’t occasionally steer him somewhere less old man-ish.

Lands End Tall would fit - their flannel is often plaid but I have bought plain colour twill and corduroy shirts there for tall (6:4) DH in past.
Fat face also have a tall men’s range (though again shirts may tend to be checked). M&S and Next’s tall ranges are both good for jeans, suits and jeans but I haven’t had much luck with casual shirts there.

For my really tall DS I often look on the 2Tall website but these would probably be bigger than you are looking for!

I forgot about Lands End; both the DH and I get the odd staple from there.

Plus their seemingly-weekly mail order catalogues are handy free kindling for the woodburner.

DP has long arms and finds things that fit him in H&M.

Bad Rhino (the male equivalent of Yours Clothing) might do some as they cater for the -ahem- stockier gentleman.
