Long slieved summer shirts.

[Sybarite]

Following on from the Tilley hat thread and concerning sun protection, where can one find light (cotton) long-slieved shirts. I love the sun but it's not reciprocal.

Ideally they should be gathered in at the wrists - a bit like pirate shirts of old - as well as a substantial collar which can be turned up.

 

[Poignard]

Jermyn Street is probably your best bet.

Failing that, a theatrical costumiers.

It's a look...

Maybe what they call "Jacobite shirts" for wear with kilts? Most kiltmakers can supply them.

Please they should have 'long tails' as well, I hate short tailed shirts that come untucked when you start pulling on the jib sheet or lean over to grab your pickup line.

This is a bone of contention with me. I hate being forced to wear shirts I don't like.
When I asked for a shirt that I could tuck in, had sleeves and wasn't covered in writing, the assistant had me down as an awkward trouble maker.

I am no fan of the Tilley hat, no matter how indgestable they are by very large herbivores.

My hat of choice is a Sun Hat like that. I usually wear a Breton smock to shield me from the sun/wind.

A few years ago I discovered Goat Hair Socks which are a game changer.

As you can see I am not a follower of fashion, but it keeps me out of the sun while onboard.

Breton fishermen's smocks are excellent. They keep the wind off and roll up small which is useful on a small boat

M&S did long sleeved linen shirts last year. Whether the material is thick enough for you I don't know.

 

[Lightwave395]

Craghoppers - UV protection, high collar, even anti insect versions if you want, dry in no time of washed

 

[Praxinoscope]

Don't know if they are the same as poignards goat hair socks but SWMBO bought me 2 x pairS of Alpaca wool socks for Xmas, never had such comfortable socks before.

Hopefully one can specify the non lifting variety?

Columbia, Kathmandu, Mountain Warehouse, and Millets would no doubt give you EXACTLY what you specify.

I have about eight, mostly bought in Florida for Angling in the tropics, but some in NZ for sunscreening.

I go as brown as a berry, but its a Farmers Tan. Face, lower arms and legs, vee in the front where the shirt is open.

My favourite Angling shirts have large velcro vents side and back to allow a breeze to be caught when open and loads of useful pockets.

My favorite coloured one, a mint green has worn the collar right through. Casting a fly while wearing it does that. First Mate, unlike my mum with Dads shirts in the early fifties, refuses to turn the collar!

It is now for the bin, but I did buy it in 2002!

Take a look at the CT shirts site here: Men's Shirts, Suits & Accessories | Charles Tyrwhitt

They do a variety of styles. I buy most of my shirts there (better value and fit than Marks & Spencer)

Lightweight rugby shirt??

 

[Neeves]

Pyjamas, silk.

Though the collars may not be large enough and you will need to add elastic to the sleeves.

They were common gear on RORC China Sea Races, once you got south.

Lightweight rugby shirt??

They would be my weapon of choice, but Milady is not amused. They seem to get stained or damaged in the wash
