I love them but they're a bit snug
These are beautiful gloves and I now actually have two pairs. But, they are made for very skinny arms. My arms aren't big, but the only person I can think of for whom they would go up as far as they should weighs less than 100 lbs.<br /><br />The strings on the hand parts come a little loose, too, but they don't seem to be *breaking.* I have been able to safely cut off the loose strings.<br /><br />My big worry was that the stitching around the thumb area would rub or be uncomfortable. It's not at all! I have extremely sensitive skin and some texture issues (like, I'm an adult and still cut tags out of my shirts!), and these have caused NO problems for either.<br /><br />Tl;dr: LOVE them but made for very skinny arms.
