I wear a jacket everywhere I go in case the opportunity to do magic arrives at any time. My friend that I preform with has a long sleeve shirt that somehow has wide open sleeves as big as my jacket. I can't find a place to buy a shirt like that anywhere. Do I have to make one myself by stretching the sleeves out, or does anyone know of a store where I could buy one? Thanks!

What brand shirt does your friend wear? I think that may be the answer. Different companies cut them differently and if you like his cut, try that shirt maker.

A while back I was looking for the same thing.....so I could sleeve without a jacket. (pen routine)
Long story short, I ended up buying an XX-Large shirt and unstitching the cuffs. I then sewed these onto my shirt (size Medium). I found some brands have wider cuffs than other, but generally not quite enough for sleeving. |

Most Land's End dress shirts work for me; use the second of the two buttons.

So I soaked my long sleeve shirt in bath water. That let me stretch the cuffs out by hand. Seems to work!

I have a homemade Raven that I like to use with a long sleeve shirt. I stretched out the sleeves the Same way you've described. It worked for a while, but the sleeves kept getting more and more stretched. Eventually, it was like a wizard would wear, so I threw it the shirt.

I found a Dockers leather jacket at Goodwill. It was my size and had wide open sleeves. Keep your eyes open because they are pricey new!

Instead of ... "what clothes should I be wearing so I can do my pet tricks" how about ...
