I'm 6'2" and have a couple of the Patagonia Cap 3 shirts. They aren't excessively short in the sleeves. I do have a Patagonia Wool 2 and that has very long sleeves and body. The sleeves easily cover my wrists. It can get tucked into your pants and shouldn't come out at all. The Capilline 3 are too short to tuck in for me. Something else to consider are shirts with thumb holes. I can't think of any specifically right now, but I know they exist. These shirts have longer sleeves since they are designed to cover part of your palm as well. When you have your thumb in the thumb hole, the shirt covers your radial pulse point, and since the blood is so close the the surface of your skin here, keeping this point warm helps keep your whole body warm.
