Yeah, t-shirts absolutely suck. I'm thin, tall, and like to wear my pants lower on my hips, so shirt length is absolutely essential. In most cases, L is an inch or so longer than M, so I get L even though M would fit my chest better. I honestly wish they would just make a size between M and L, like M+, which would be just be a bit longer M (like 2 extra inches).
We really need separate length and width measurements. I'm tall and very skinny. I usually go for a medium, but sometimes even a small, so my shirts are frequently close to too short. If I go larger than I look like I'm swamped in my shirt and it looks horrible.
Exactly. I just live with the fact that shirts look horrible on me. It's better than people seeing my butt crack when I bend slightly to open a door...
I have seen a regular and long but only on high end brands. Abercrombie and Fitch is a good example. Their tops have a size and length.
Yeah, I'm not paying $40-50 for a t-shirt. I feel bad enough paying $30 on a t-shirt to support someone's YouTube channel...
A t-shirt should be $10-20, depending on branding and quality, maybe $30-40 if it uses some super-fancy fabric or something (e.g. merino wool should be $40-ish).
There are "longtail" T shirts that are as your describe, slightly longer.
