Review on Indera Men's Tall Rib Knit Thermal Underwear Top in Cotton by David Crowder

Revainrating 4 out of 5

PERFECT sleeve and torso for thin but long arms

I just received these Tall Large sizes and I love them. Comfy, warm yet lightweight (think ribbed tank top but softer), with a perfect L-fit through the chest and shoulders and a PERFECT sleeve height. In addition, he does not suffer from excessive stretching of the upper body, which often happens with large sizes. I will update this review in the future if durability becomes an issue, but based on other reviews I don't expect that to be the case. and skinny buyers: I'm about 6ft 3in tall, 44in bust, but my arms are about 36in overall slim (shirt size is 16.5in neck with 36/37in sleeves). Size L regular (not large) is usually perfect at the top but ridiculously short on the sleeves; Size XL is usually too wide in the shoulders and often not long enough in the sleeves; Size XXL usually only fits sleeve length but is ridiculous on sleeve/chest/shoulder girth. If this sounds like you or someone you love, you will be very happy with almost all of Indera's Tall Large shirts.**** UPDATE MARCH 2015 ** **After a few months of owning a few of these, I have decided to downgrade my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. The elastic cuffs on the sleeves are very annoying. Their elasticity is very poor, which means that any stretching for any length of time will make the cuffs loose and baggy, ie they won't snap up nicely like when you pull the sleeves over your elbows during work, even for a few minutes. . If the cuffs were narrow there would be fewer bugs, but they are over 3 inches long so hanging on them is a problem. They keep bouncing back after washing, but I'm not sure how long I can expect that to last. I don't like rolling up/folding my sleeves when I know I'm going to need them for a while - after all it's a tank top and it doesn't need to be 'planned'. All in all still good. Shirt at a great price, in a hard to find size and fit, which saves me from being downgraded to 3 stars.
