We are all different and my particular need is to cover my upper arms. I have managed to find a few T-shirts and dresses with elbow length sleeves but this summer being so hot I’d like to buy a few more. Can anyone recommend where to buy these. Thanks.

Matalan have simple cotton t-shirts with three quarter sleeve, they come to just below elbow. They wash well, but currently only colours are black, white and light grey. I'm hoping they'll get more options back in soon.

Cotton Traders had a lot, also Edinburgh Mills, but it is coming to the end of the season. I have been known to buy long or 3/4 sleeved tops and shorten them to just above the elbow. A herringbone stitch does a neat job if they are stretchy.

You might find things you like in Seasalt. I like either full length sleeve or short and found many things at elbow length, so it may suit you

In summer I virtually live in Seasalt ‘sailor’ stripey tops, pure cotton, elbow length sleeves. I must have at least 7 in different colours, collected over the years, they wash and wear very well.
