Seeing as we're doing shopping requests...:)

My mum is after some... What can only be described as 'elasticated sleeves'. I think they are often sold abroad for cycling, playing golf, hiking etc to protect arms from the sun. I'm struggling to find them other than a) from South Korea via Ebay or b) one single UK seller. To complicate things further, ideally she would like some with 'fingerless gloves' at the end...

Was particularly thinking viva might have did ideas, but all suggestions gratefully received!

These ones are in London. Any good?

They are also sold as a hijab accessory, so a Muslim clothier could also be an option:

Sorry not to be able to help more. I wear a lot of long sleeve tops because of my skin but tend to buy ones that are made out of the lightest cotton when I'm in Florida.

I like the idea of the arm things covering hands too, thinking about the age spotted future that is my genetic heritage. I would not want the thumb bit, just ultra long sleeves i think.

Tattoos on the arms are all the rage. It makes more sense to get tattoos on a finely printed sleeve. Coloured cloth sleeves surely add to skin protection from UV radiation.

My answers are no to everything....

The only thing I've got going for me in this thread is that I'm an exceedingly nice person


Edit: I have an electric tooth brush so maybe I do fit in after all

Re sun protection, i wore factor fifty all the last week, as i always try to remember too, and look very pale still. I also wore the same plimsolls all week, and only when they come off do i remember what pale really is. My toes are as white as can be!

Maybe we also have more curls than is average in uk?

I'm going unbelievably brown, a combination of forced recuperation meaning lying on the hammock on the patio and a side effect of my medication.

@lostinrates there may be a cosmetic all over toe tan that you should consider.
