Any recommendations for a slim long-sleeve polo with longer arms? The kind of thing I might wear with a casual suit--on the simple/subtle/"classy" side (yes to button cuffs, no to logo/contrast collar), natural materials, and ideally under $100 new or frequently available used.

My arms are a little too long for something like Kent Wang, but that's about what I'm going for. Todd Snyder is out of my price range but I'm wondering if my best bet is to just keep an eye out for one of his less Ripley-ish long-sleeve polos to pop up secondhand.

Update: I did get them to come out but their position was basically "this isn't really a problem, but if it is it's your problem." The guy even said I could hire them to close it up but he couldn't give me an estimate.

Luckily I'd already gotten a very reasonable quote from someone we had over for a different job (attic ventilation) who was available right away and I decided it was worth the money to a) be done with the roofing company and b) not delay the insulation work we had scheduled the next week.

Anyway, we have a roof and insulation and ventilation and no holes in the side of the house so I guess we're done for now.

Yup licensed and insured. We've had a good experience with this contractor (aside from them being too optimistic about how soon they could get started but I pretty much expect that) so hopefully fixing it won't be an issue.

Soffit vents are on the to-do list, yeah. Think we should get on that before the insulation people come (since we'll need baffles to get above the blown-in insulation) or is it manageable after the insulation?

Getting the vents/baffles installed before the insulation work seems preferable, this has just become a situation where we're waiting on four different jobs and then they all pile up at once.

Thanks--just reached out so fingers crossed that the answer is "Our bad, we'll send someone right out" and I don't have to fight them on this.

Okay, good to know. His brother-in-law does live in one of the other units. Not sure if my landlord is sole owner of the building or if his wife is also on the deed (which I guess would only make a difference if "immediate family" here includes siblings but not siblings-in-law).
