long sleeve

Wrist-reaching garment part

Long sleeve describes a garment with sleeves extending to the wrist, as opposed to short sleeve or sleeveless styles: Do you have this shirt in long sleeve?

The term functions as both adjective and noun—you might wear a long-sleeve shirt or simply throw on a long sleeve when it gets cold.
