Need a couple of long sleeve lightweight mosi resistant shirts. Tried to order some from Rohan and Craghoppers both seem to be cut for people who are built like a t-rex, wide and short with stubby little arms.

So fellow tall people, where can I get long sleeved, "long" shirts from? Or do I just accept sunburnt and bitten forearms are in my future?

thanks

Try continental brands like Vaude, Fjallraven etc

I've got quite long arms - 36" in fitted shirts - and find European kit longer in the leg and arms. I guess there are lots of tall Germans and Swedes that need outdoor kit

My wife makes them for me. Pretty much gave up on buying ill-fitting clothing when I discovered her particular skills in this area. After 30 years of basically making do with anything that I could just about wear it was a revelation having clothes that fitted properly.

Mountain Equipment are my first port of call when I'm looking for long sleeves without a too flappy torso layer. There must be some odd shaped people out there, right enough.

I'd second the Skandi companies as a general rule.
