Brands for Long Arms
Any recs? Off the rack are usually too short in the limbs for me. Know I ultimately need to look at measurements, but any general guidance on brands that have longer arms would be helpful.

just measurements, theres no one brand for long arms imo
In general, there are a lot of brands that make intentionally oversized pieces that will accommodate a variety of dimensions easily (for example, the sweater I am wearing today)
But there are not brands I'm aware of that specialize in pieces for folks with longer arms.
If you don't like the oversized look, your best bets are to go with a made to measure option for shirts and/or just get measurements for things before you buy (which is a good policy either way)
I know of like 3-4 different brands that intentionally make shirts and jackets with overly long sleeves, but they're a bit pricey :///
same problem i just have to size up and alter it
or you can find brands that let you customize sleeve lengths
im waiting on a spier and mackay shirt and im hoping thats good
Thanks guys. As an example - I sized up the 3Sixteen denim jacket to the highest size but the arms were too short. Iron Heart worked great though at XXL.
I asked because I was thinking about how much I loved some jackets I had from Wings + Horns and Our Legacy, and sweatpants/sweatshirts from Reigning Champ, but they’re all too short in the limbs
I already just do custom for dress shirts and alter blazers/suits. But alterations aren’t really feasible for most jackets and normal clothing. I actually reached out to Rogue Territory as I bought their Supply Jacket and loved it but the arms a maybe 1.5” short. There’s a cuff, though, so I thought I could tailor to extend, but was told that’s not doable
Mind sharing the names?
I’ve done custom dress shirts with them! Took a lot of iterating but that’s probably my own issue with not knowing how much to adjust the measurements
