Sleeves on shirts too short even though shirt is correct size

    Does anyone else get this?

    I'm male. 171 cm tall, healthy weight.

    If I'm picking up a shirt, I'll get a medium. The shirt fits my body perfectly but the cuffs of the sleeves are an inch or two above my wrist.

    If I get a large shirt to ensure my wrists are covered, my body is swimming in the shirt.

    Are my arms abnormally long for my body?

    Sounds like it :)

    shirt sleeves come in various lengths. Try TM Lewin online and in many shirts you will have a option for sleeve length. I'm guessing you will need a 36" sleeve - standard is 34.5"

    re tm lewin, you select by collar and arm length, as well as fit: normal/slim/fitted/etc. also have the option to adjust arm length for €10 extra i think.

    not sure if the one in grafton st is open but they will measure you up for free, and go online and order away.

    They closed all their retail stores as part of a CVA in the uk (like examinership here), so are now online only. Delivery takes about 5 days
