I am tall (5'10") and big busted, so I need slightly longer riding tops to stop me getting a cold back. Are there any particular brand that is a bit longer by standard? Looking for t-shirts, polo tops and fleeces. Thanks x
 
I'm 5'6 1/2" but have short legs and a long body with big boobs. I wear a long vest top (mostly from Primark where they call them dresses even though they only just cover my bum :eek:) under my tops. I also steal my OH's old t-shirts when he decides to throw them out (they're always fine, just a bit faded) and they're plenty long enough.
 
I find Landsend are long, so much so I buy their petite ones, they are also generously sized. They wear very well and if you keep an eye out you can get them at a very reduced price. I prefer the pique ones to the pima but that's just a personal choice
 
For t shirts I buy Gap's Tall range and find they are very good length wise. For inexpensive base layers I have several Blaze clothing ones which are nice and long, their website doesn't seem to be working but I see them on sale on Ebay for £12.50. I also find Noble Equestrian (was Noble Outfitters) a reasonable length.
 
I have a couple of noble tops which are long enough for cycling too (ergo you don't get a cold back). and really like them.
 
Men’s Ralph Lauren polo shirts from TK Maxx are lovely and long, good quality and reasonable priced given that they last for years. I am busty and they fit well. I am a 12/14 and men's small are a good fit.
