I have really long arms but a proportionately narrow torso so finding shirts is a pain. If the sleeves are long enough the rest of the shirt is a tent. 3/4 sleeves are super awesome for me...but sometimes I want long sleeves! Sweaters are a struggle too. If you have long arms have you found any brands that have generous sleeves? I don't want to tailor every single piece of clothing I buy. They make longs in pants - why not in sleeves too??
I was really excited that my choir dress has super long sleeves...but it was a custom made dress so go figure :-)

Re: Who has long arms?
I'm sure you've already checked this but I know Gap's Tall line makes their shirts with longer arms, and I don't think they increase the size of the rest of the shirt. I don't know if they carry them in stores though. You might have to buy online.
Maybe any store that carries a Tall section?
Judging
Being 6' tall I totally hear you on shirts being tent in order to fit my arms!! There are 2 sites I frequent to find clothes. Their shirts do have longer arms and not such a huge torso. Long Tall Sally also has a store at the Mall of America.

Whoah. A $700 jacket. Click here.
Yeah the stuff is pricey but well made. More outerwear than anything but they do make long sleeved/sweaters/knit shirts. I'm in love with their coats. They are so warm. I just picked up this coat liner http://shop.hellyhansen.com/US/item/50500/?partner=6005&t_type=src&t_type=cat
and this matching coat

for 80.00 total at marshalls this weekend. All their stuff is really long in the arms.
Any retailer that offers talls in their tops should work:
- Old Navy / Gap / Banana
- Eddie Bauer
