where can you buy basic t shirts with longer sleeves in berlin?

check out S.Oliver on Friedrichstraße, their "heavy weight" line has longer sleeves than most basic tees and the collar is normal not that weird v-neck weekday thing. around 20-25€ and the quality is decent for the price, thicker than new yorker at least

for something more specific try The Good Store on Mulackstraße in Mitte, they carry Velour Garments and other local brands that do longer sleeve tees. bit expensive around 50€ but the cut is exactly what you described, boxy body with sleeves that actually go past your bicep

tbh you're describing the dropsize fit pretty well, that's basically a classic heavy oversized tee with decent sleeve length. def shop is fine but you're paying for the brand name more than anything

try Muji at Alexa, their heavy cotton tees have a similar cut to that weekday one but without the weird collar. sleeves are a bit longer and the fabric is thicker, around 25€. also check out Grundstoff on Oranienstraße if you want something in between, they do plain basics with proper sleeve length for like 15€

Uniqlo is a solid bet, but if you want that specific heavy oversized cut without the Weekday collar issue, check out No Man's Land on Weserstraße in Neukölln. They stock Stan Ray and a few other workwear brands that do tees with proper sleeve length and a boxy body, usually around 35-45€. The fabric is thick enough to hold its shape wash after wash.

For something cheaper, head to Primark on Alexanderplatz, believe it or not. Their heavy cotton line has longer sleeves than most of their stuff, and at 8-10€ it's worth grabbing one to test the fit. Just don't expect it to last more than a season.

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
