We have been using these for about a month now.
Pros: Very speedy delivery and efficient service from Scratch Sleeves (when you're ordering an item like this, it is usually an urgent requirement!). Cotton is good quality and washes well. Flat seams on shoulders and hem and labels on the outside. Neutral colours so reduced risk of irritants from dyes. Reasonable price. Release section in the seams for hands (not too easily accessible, but useful if required). Soft silk on the hands reduces damage caused by scratching to face.
Cons: Unfortunately, the mitts on the tops aren't lasting well, despite having two in rotation, washing them on a handwash setting (every other day), and air drying them. One top has holes in the ends of the silk. On the other, the mittens are noticeably more narrow and restrictive. This one has a hole in the cotton inside the silk on one sleeve, and the silk is coming away from the cuff on the other. As the mitten needs to be tugged a little to release hands, the stitching at the cuff does not seem strong enough to take this. Whilst we appreciate this must mean the scratching is quite intense, we had hoped the products might last a little longer before showing such wear, especially as, unlike with the children's items, these are less likely to be grown-out of. They perhaps need stronger construction for adults?
We have also found the side and sleeve seams are not flat, which is requiring a medical-grade silk layer to be worn underneath to prevent irritation.
Overall, an excellent idea in theory but a bit disappointing in practice.
