FAQ
Sizing
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 wear a M sometimes a Large) then we would suggest the smaller size. It's better to be a little snug than too loose.
Straw Hats- Please see our size guide (linked below). Because the hats are handmade there is a little size variance between each hat, but they each 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 are ones size fits most.
Gloves:
To ensure the best size for you, please see our size guide. It's important to note that our sizing tends to run a bit small, so if you find yourself between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger option for an ideal fit.
Product Wash | Care Instructions
Sleeves - We recommend machine washing them with a strong detergent on a regular cycle low to medium heat. (Preferably with other work clothes and not any delicate items) Make sure the Detergent is strong or the resins wont come off. They can be tumble dried on low heat but as with all clothes hang drying will help keep the fabric nice longer. Also consider using a dryer sheet with fabric softener to help longevity
Masks - We recommend to start by Removing the filters. Then hand or machine wash on a delicate cycle. Please only air dry do not machine dry as the strap and valves can become damaged. Prior to washing and hand wash the rubber ring inside as this may get buildup over time. Let them air dry and reattach the valves once fully dry by clipping back into place.
Aprons - We recommend machine washing them with a strong detergent on a regular cycle. (Preferably with other work clothes and not any delicate items) Make sure the Detergent is strong or the resins wont come off. They can be machine dried but as with all clothes hang drying will help keep the fabric nice longer.
Gaiters - We recommend machine washing them with a strong detergent on a regular cycle. (Preferably with other work clothes and not any delicate items) Make sure the Detergent is strong or the resins wont come off. They can be machine dried but as with all clothes hang drying will help keep the fabric nice longer.
Straw hats - Only can be hand cleaned by wiping down and should never be submerged in water. Be cautious with pressure to the hat structure as they are straw and if bent too much can cause cracking
Apparel - ( Shirts, Hoodies, Beanies, Snapbacks) Please wash according to manufacturer's directions on tags.

Tough sleeves
Although I never received the package with my second pair of sleeves (my oops with an incorrect address), I have thoroughly appreciated the pairs I bought for my sister and me last year! She owns a 7 acre blueberry farm in Pennsylvania and we spend hours and hours pruning and cutting down saplings and weeds around her 6,000 bushes. For several years we had resorted to old tube socks to protect our arms before we found your product. I love their durability and comfort (and the occasional shocked looks when people think I have gotten tattoos haha). Our main “foes” are poison ivy, morning glory and horse nettles, the latter has prickles that can pierce through most gloves I’ve tried, but not these sleeves!
Overall, works pretty well. They go on easily and stay on fairly well. I was worried the gripper stuff at the top could be irritating, but i haven’t run into that issue in the last few months of using them. I don’t use the thumb hole anymore because i found it kind of uncomfortable, but I’m not a fan of thumb holes in general and i wear gloves when i work anyway so they don’t provide any extra protection in my purposes. The only issue i ran into was that the stitching on the inside ripped when i was pulling them off once, but they still work
Loved the fabric. This was too small so getting the next size up. Looking forward to using them.
