I usually see these referred to as "roll-up shirts" or "roll-up sleeve shirts", whether or not they are safari- or work-styled.

Where do you fall on this spectrum. This image is obviously biased towards the middle picture, though from my observations it seems that the length in the third pic is most common. I'm usually closer to #2. And does it vary based on personal/professional setting. I'm also sporting #2 at work, usually.

I like the 3rd pic for shirts. Makes shirts more casual. I do #2 out of utility, when its hot.

Probably between a 2 and 3. I hate having the roll on my elbow, way uncomfortable.

Thinking of buying some Uniqlo sweaters as beaters. Size S or XS for a 36" chest?

Question: My little brother is old enough that he doesn't want to be dressed by our mother any more, and he wants some non sports trainers, something like Converse.
The only catch is he has very broad feet so I am looking something similar but wider fitting, or can you get wide fitted converse?
So wide fitting, similar style to converse, nothing expensive or rare, he is only a kid and they won't get treated well. Got to be available in the UK.
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
If I don't get any help I will start a special flower thread, just warning you all.

^Check out the Jack Purcell by Converse line. They are bit wider and the prices are reasonable.

A little off this topic but still somewhat relevant. What are the bands that go around the sleeves of a long sleeved shirt to hold them up called? You see sometimes pictures of old bartenders wearing them while working.

Going to see Cirque du Soleil next week - how should my girlfriend and I dress? I don't want us to be horribly over/under dressed, and she doesn't know what we're going to so I just told her to wear a dress. Yea/nay?

XS should do it.

Looking for an online shop that sells Filson Italy (black label) stuff. There's plenty of them on Rakuten but they only sell sizes suited for japanese guys.

^^You can occasionally see Filson italy on yoox (eu).
