The Complete Handbook of Arm Warmers & Sleeves
A practical reference for buyers, sellers, and makers of arm warmers and sleeves
by Alumigogo Books
non-fiction
The definitive technical and commercial reference for arm warmers and sleeves: materials, fit, care, sourcing, and business models.
About this book
Arm warmers and sleeves look like simple tubes of fabric, but the difference between a pair that lasts one season and a pair that lasts ten years comes down to measurable factors: denier, knit structure, seam type, elastane content, and cuff construction. This handbook breaks down those specifications in plain language, giving buyers, sellers, and makers the vocabulary and criteria they need to evaluate any product on the market.

★★★★★I bought this for our shop's buyers and it's already paid for itself. The chapter on specifications alone is worth it - I finally have a clear way to compare the compression ratings and knit densities between the brands we stock, instead of relying on whatever the rep tells us. The business chapter had some genuinely useful sourcing advice too. My only complaint is I wish the glossary was longer, but that's a minor thing. This will be our staff reference from now on.
