I'm looking for a men's T-shirt with a sleeve length a little longer.

I'm looking for more upper arm coverage. My husband is 70 and likes his clothes comfy and also fitting. I would appreciate any recommendations we can check online.

I like the Gildan 5700. It's a 3/4 length sleeve available in a range of colors. You can buy it on Amazon, or from a variety of wholesale-adjacent clothing sites.

Perhaps Duluth Trading Company? At least some of their shirts have longer-than-average sleeves, but still look basically like normal t-shirts. I linked to a specific one, but they've got a variety of styles. Do make sure you check the size guide -- their shirts seem to run rather large.

Yep my 70 year old dad really liked the shirts from Duluth, they can also run long in the back to prevent plumber butt types of things.

tall sizes

I agree with brujita. I have longish arms, and XL shirts that fit my torso don't have long enough sleeves. When I finally started looking at "big and tall" sizes I found shirts with longer sleeves that actually reach my wrists.
