Dickies Big Men's Long Sleeve Twill Work Shirt

I love the color and the overall fit, but this is not a "long sleeve shirt." The sleeves feel too short even with my arms down, but if I raise them, they are annoyingly restrictive and short. I've had long sleeve shirts from other manufacturers that don't skimp on the sleeve material like Dickies. I'm not happy with this purchase

I actually bought this because it is the closest thing I can find to a dark blue long sleeve uniform shirt that I wore in the U. S. Air Force back in the 70s and 80s. The shirt was designated as 1549 Dark Blue Men's Shirt. The only difference is that the Dickies shirt has no shoulder epaulets and is Polyester/Cotton blend where the uniform shirt was Wool/Cotton blend. I needed it to attend the funeral of an Unaccompanied Air Force Veteran's Funeral where his only surviving relative could not attend. I was asked to receive his burial flag on her behalf which I was honored to do.

I wanted to get a Red Shirt so I could support the group of people who wear Red shirts on Fridays to show support for our troops. I only wear two pocket shirts. I found this shirt in English Red on the Dickies website. I've worn Dickies and know their quality is good. The shirt is good and the color is excellent. The only thing missing is a Pencil Slot.

Purchased a 3xlt because I need the extra length in both the shirt and sleeves. Unfortunately the sleeves were way too short. Not the first time I have been disappointed in Dickies and their long sleeve items. I guess I was just being hopeful that maybe they figured out that tall people also have longer arms and we need the extra length there too.

I thought I had bought the same shirt as last time and after looking at both, Yes they are the same shirt. But, the new shirt, specifically the sleeves are smaller, i.e. the diameter Now if I had been going to the gym and spent time working on my arms, I'd understand, but, I haven't.
