I have asked my husband to pick the green beans for over 40 years. Thanks to these, I am happily giving him a break from that chore. No more itchy, rashy green bean arms! Thanks!

I’m a Horticulture/ Permaculture student & needed something to protect my arms from the hot sun. I got a pair of your fab #gardeningsleeves & I absolutely love them!

Everything I grew in my garden irritated my skin. I used a hoodie all year and that was like a sauna. The sleeves are cool and there has been no irritation while using them. Thanks!

I used your gardening sleeves and really liked them. My son came over and cleared out a bunch of wild blackberry bushes and other unwanted brush and I gave him my sleeves to use. He loved them and took them home with him he liked them so much!

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleeves- Please see our Size Guide (linked below) for exact measurements, but we do recommend the same size as whatever shirt you wear. If you wear a medium shirt we suggest getting the S/M. If you are in between sizes (sometimes you wear a Medium sometimes a Large) then we would suggest the smaller size. It's better to have them be a little snug than too loose.

Straw Hats- Please see our size guide (linked below). Since the hats are handmade there is a little size variance between each hat, but they do have an elastic band sewn around the head opening to make up for this variance and allow them to fit sung on most heads. The brim is 4.5" wide.

Aprons-  Have hip measurements of S/M - 36.5" - 44 and L/XL - 42" - 50"


Masks and Gaiters- One size fits most.

Size Guide

• Sleeves, Aprons, & Gaiters – Machine wash. Machine drying is okay, but air drying is preferred for longevity.

• Sun Hats, Venture Full Brim Hats, & Nitrile Gloves – Hand wash recommended. Machine washing and drying may weaken the brim structure and reduce glove durability.

• Straw Hats & Leather Gloves – Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water. Avoid excessive pressure on straw hats to prevent cracking.

• Apparel (Shirts, Hoodies, Beanies, Snapbacks) – Follow the care instructions on the garment tag.

• Trimming Shears – Wipe blades with rubbing alcohol to remove sticky residue.

 Insect Repellant Apparel  – wash separately from other garments, Do not Dry Clean.
