| For ladies longer -ish arms, ok really long arms.. freakishly long arms lol!! Nah.. not that long but longer than let's say, average... I have 2 button downs that seem to fit "ok" but I would still like a little more give in the arm length. They are Ariat. I am curious if there are any others out there... maybe a stretch type that I haven't seen yet. I don't have any local stores that carry "rodeo" shirts just stores that sell "bar clothes " so it'll probably have to be online shopping for me.  |

| I have tried many of the shirts I am enhancing and have noticed some brands definitely tend to long or short sleeves. Scullys tend to slightly shorter and I have to size up to wear, Wrangler to longer and they have a few styles made for riding with a little give and longer arms, Ariat tend to be right on, Cruel Girl longer, Panhandles you just have to try since some are long and some are short, Ropers seem to be between normal and long depending on the shirt, Idylwinds have all been longer sleeve, Cumberland's have all be right on, Grace in LA's have tended to be longer sleeves, and I have one Ranger that is the shortest sleeved medium ever. |

        Location: CTX | I have a couple of the airconditioned shirts. They have zippers, but they also have buttoned down ones. They have longer sleeves, I have normal lenght arms (well, I think so anyway... lol) and I always turn the cuffs over so they don't get in the way when I run. And they are not super hot in our lovely Tx summers.... www.msport6.com

I just ordered one of those early this morning to see if it will fit the bill! I sure hope so because I love the idea of faux buttons. Plus they had some really cute shirts! I tried one 1 of my husband's cinch shirts but it absolutely swallowed me. Course his are 2X. But the sleeves were long enough. I tend to like them a little fitted. I'm 5'11 I've always had trouble with jeans and shirts! |

 Location: Da Booshes | I've given up on women's/ladies shirts. To get the sleeves long enough I need to wear an XL but then it looks like I'm wearing a circus tent and still the tail isn't long enough. I like the CR Ranchwear show shirts and they fit but I'm not spending $150 for a solid colored show shirt. I started buying mens dress shirts years ago. You can pick your collar size and sleeve length. They can also come in a slim fit if you like a more fitted style. In the spring especially after Easter you can find some bolder colors and on sale. I'm not much for crazy patterns so the basic solid colors that the majority of men's shirts come in works for me. |

| Aren't the Sherry Cervi shirts by Resistol supposed to be longer? Would be worth checking into! |

I've bought a lot of the from JcPennys and eBay! Penny's usually has a sale after Easter where I got my bright pink and Robin's egg blue ones, pretty cheap, under $30/each. They are slim fit. J Ferar brand? I have a bunch of the Van Hussen dress shirts in pretty colors and some of them have a sheen to them that looks nice when starched and pressed. Stafford dress shirts, have a bunch of them. Both of those are a better quality than the J.Ferar shirts. Oh and I bought some at Costco years ago too, Kirkland brand! Once you know your collar and sleeve size they are easy to order if you're like me and not a big clothes shopper..lol |

You bet! Here's a page that has some videos on how to measure: https://propercloth.com/reference/dress-shirt-body-measurements/ You just need the collar and sleeve measurements. You're taller than I am, 5' 9". I typically wear a 15 collar, 35 sleeve. |

| My daughter pefers the womens Cinch brand shirts for this reason, she is very particular and if the sleeves arent long she wont wear them. I also have shirts custom made for her, which supprisingly do not cost me any more than traditional shirts. Check out LA Designs on Facebook Lacee is awesome to work with. |

    Location: My happy place | If you don't mind not western try Landsend.com they have tall sizes. I ordered flannel shirts this winter that had really long sleeves, in regular. I don't think their quality is what it used to be but they do have nice shirts and jackets. Be sure to check the overstocks and sale items. My favorite demin shirt came from Landsend. My husband is really tall, I feel for you. I would think ladies Cinch shirts would have long sleeves, the men's sure do. |

| Go to a sewing machine store and ask who does custom sewing. Get with that person and pick out some fabric from fabric.com. The have high quality fabrics from conservative solids to really cool wild prints. Order your fabric and tell the person to make yor sleeves long enough. Fabric isn't cheap but probably won't cost much more than many brands. I copy a lot of CR ranch shirts. |

      Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo. | Kerrits has long-sleeve shirts with actual long sleeves. As a melanoma cancer survivor I have to 'cover up' when I'm outside. The Kerrits shirts have UV protection so I have quite a few. Last week I bought a long sleeve snap up that is a new product and I LOVE it!!! If you need LONG sleeves, take a look at Kerrits. Especially if you need UV protection. |
