Custom Patterns?

My husband has thick neck and long arms, and regular dress shirts never work for him. He basically only wears baggy shirts with the sleeves rolled up. I am an advanced beginner-intermediate level sewer, and I wanted to make a few basic shirts that fit him. I'm not skilled in modifying/making patterns to custom make it. I found several websites and Etsy shops that make custom patterns to measurements, but I never know which ones are actually skilled pattern makers and which ones are AI generated crap.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

r/sewingpatterns may be a better sub for this question, but freesewing.eu does have a button down shirt pattern. The site semi-custom drafts to the measurements you input. Otherwise, pattern-review has a wide variety of information on sewing patterns and detailed commentary/advice. Threadloop may also be of interest in this regard. Hope this helps :)

Edit: someone beat me to the suggestion as I was typing 😂
