5 out of 5 starsCustomer Service: Doing business with Brian was a pleasure and he answered all my questions and handled my requests personally. Shipping: The leg warmers took about 3 weeks to deliver, and were undamaged in shipping. Product: These legwarmers are certainly 100% alpaca and obviously made with pride using traditional methods. The yarn is evenly spun, and the knitted stitches are very even. These add nice warmth over clothing. Expect them to be somewhat softer than sheep wool, but with more body than, say, cotton knits. These work better over leggings or pants, since they do not have added elastic, and may slide down on bare legs. These are perfect for someone who likes the look of a handmade product and appreciates supporting the hard work of indigenous peoples.

2 out of 5 starsRuns small and did not achieve coverage shown in photo. Weave becomes open when trying to stretch the cap over my head. Seller should post the circumference of the head of the model AND/OR the circumference of the product at bottom edge.
Brian responded on Jan 8, 2019
We are sad to hear that the hat you ordered did not fit you, and your recommendation that we specify the circumference of the hat and the model’s head into our listings is extremely useful (and is certainly more objective than just a photo of me wearing the hat your ordered), so it will be incorporated into our product description. We are, however, very pleased (and surprised) that within minutes of posting this review, you then went on to buy five more of our products, including two more hats! Your repeat business is appreciated and your order shipped today.

1 out of 5 starsPhoto shows over the knee coverage and description says "Wide Calf = Yes". The weave has a horizontal taught line at the top that makes stretching impossible without cutting the line. WWW.Shoes.com states the US standard for Wide Calf = 15.5" or greater. The max. stretch I could achieve in the delivered configuration was approx. 14" in circumference, which was painful. ALSO, during the second wearing attempt one of the lets started to unravel at the top.
Brian responded on Jan 8, 2019
We are sad to hear that the legwarmers you ordered did not fit you, and the standard measurement that you gave of what defines a Wide Calf in the United States (our biggest market) is extremely useful (and is certainly more objective than just a photo of my wife wearing them)and will be incorporated into our product description. We are, however, very pleased (and surprised) that within minutes of posting this review, you then went on to buy five more of our products! Your repeat business is appreciated and your order shipped today.

1 out of 5 starsSeller stated 17" length_Actual length = 14.5". Also had a string, the circumference of the horizontal weave, that would not stretch beyond 5". Definitely NOT what I wanted. This is more like a child's sizing.
