Does anyone know of a nice short sleeve polo shirt?

I want the sleeeves to be almost elbow length to cover my wind shield arms.   Tried Lands End no long enough.

@crazered - Try Appleseed's, PGA Tour, and Amazon. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know what 'windshield arms' means. 🤔

Check out some men's lines.  Being an ex-men's clothing buyer who got a healthy 50% discount, I wore men's polo shirts for years, so many that I still have some left.  They mosty come down to my elbow without looking out of proportion. I had to force myself to start wearing women's tops, it was easy with lunchtime specials and I now have a boat load of Kim Gravel and One World.

Try the hemmed rather than banded sleeved polos from LL Bean. I can't wear the banded sleeves because of the size of my upper arms from strength training.

Lands' End  has elbow sleeve polos. Maybe you missed seeing them but they have them.

Just a suggestion.....did you ever try a bracelet sleeve tee? I like that length. As for brand I like Issac Mizrahi tees. If you want a more dressed up look I like Soft Surroundings.

@crazered  I think you would be a medium or large in men's. You would have to try both.

@crazered    you would need to look at the men's polo chest measurement to fit your bust size. men's shorts are cut straight.

 

when i was very young and thin i had a teen boy's Izod shirt - it was pink and tight across my bust and snug in the hip.  i wanted a slim fit because i would wear floral skirts with the top. that was a style back then...a larger size would have looked too baggy.
