I need garden gloves with longer wrists. I wear long sleeves all the time & hate the dirt always getting on my sleeves. Do any of you know where I might find some? All the ones I see in the garden centers are way too short.

I have seen pruning gloves that are longer, so I am sure that they are out there, but don't know where.... not much help, sorry.

Try your big box hardware store where they have gloves for every task. Surely gardeners not the only one who needs long gloves,your sure to find what you want there.

Another unusual idea: I have a pair of partial "sleeves" that I got at a golf store, however bike shops carry them too. They have elastic at both ends for ease of on/off and sizing. They're designed to the equivelent to the zip off pants that hikers wear.

"Arm warmers" for the spring and fall gardening. They'll protect your shirtsleeves.

You could also try Foxgloves. They're fitted for women's hands, and they extend higher on the wrist.


I have three seasons: GROW, *SEW*, and SEED CATALOG!

Wonder if you still can get the half sleeves that butchers and printers used to use??
