Stores with long jacket/coat sleeve length?

Does anyone know of any stores with loong jacket sleeve lengths? it seems like no matter where I try on coats or jackets (not to mention long sleeve button up shirts), the sleeves are too short. I like them to cover half the palm, but most places when I lift my arms up the sleeves don't even go to my wrist bone.

I'm pretty sure I need something in the 25-26inch range from shoulder to hand. I wear a size L in juniors, Size M in womens.

Does anyone know any sites that list the sleeve measurement on their jackets, or have longer sleeve lengths in general? (I'm thinking tall people stores here).

  1. Umm.. I know I get mine from Aeropostale, Hollister, or even wal mart, lol    well that's not the point      I just get the size a little bigger than what it should be.

    ***tip***  when you wash your jacket don't put it in the drier just hang it up and let it dry that minimizes the chance for shrinking. (:


  2. I have the same problem a lot of times.  You'll find that designer brands or nice upscale department stores will have more generous cuts.  Cheap discount & trendy Jrs. stores do not usually.   You might be able to find a certain brand consistantly has generous-cut sleeves.   I think Liz Claiborne has nice fitting / nice cut garments in general.  

    Yes, tall sizes will automatically have longer arms, but longer body too.  If you search for talls, put the letter "t" after your size with no spaces.  I've found that to bring up the greatest number of correct results.  

    There are a couple of websites that have super stylish TALL sizes, but they are pricey!  

    U may have to resort to altering the hem in what you buy.  Just check b4 you buy 2C if there's an allowance for an inch or two to be let out.  It's pretty easy to do unless there's a lining.
