See @ROMARY's response.  She's got a great idea.  Except why limited?  I think they'd be surprised that a lot of us prefer long sleeves.


 

 

While I prefer short sleeves, or elbow length. 

 

I’ve just about stopped clicking to look at QF mdse, out of disappointment that they clearly have no desire to change or offer mdse to other than their 3/4 sleeve customers.

Now, now.  Don't muddy the waters.

I thought we were talking about long and 3/4.  For winter/cold months, for holiday season? 

 

I wouldn't want to confuse QVC buyers.

I’ve just been talking about not having it all 3/4 sleeves. My actual preference is short sleeves, but I’d potentially buy anything but 3/4 sleeves.

 

It honestly appears to me as if the one sleeve QF would rather not make at all is short sleeves.

Re: Quacker Factory and 3/4 Sleeves

   I guess Quaker Factory makes a lot of 3/4 sleeve tops  because they sell.If they didn’t they wouldn’t be making them.You can’t please everyone.For example I’m petite not short.Their insistence on making short pants rather than petite ones is annoying to those of us who are petite. However,they must be selling or they wouldn’t be making them.

  Quaker Factory isn’t about to please either one of us because obviously what they’re  doing is working for them.

Re: Quacker Factory and 3/4 Sleeves

I am another one that totally dislikes 3/4 sleeves.  I live in Arizona.  And yes even in the winter, I do get cold.  I like long sleeves.  I want long sleeves.  I don't and won't buy 3/4 sleeves.

Re: Quacker Factory and 3/4 Sleeves

I have a ton of QF teeshirts and almost all of them are short-sleeve.  I have some that are long-sleeve and very few that are 3/4.

 

I like all three styles, but I haven't noticed a dearth of short-sleeve styles.  I'll have to have another look!

 

I do know that Angel makes a point of saying when something is 3/4 or long-sleeve.  They had a holiday teeshirt (choice of) in today's show and she made it clear it was long-sleeve.

Re: Quacker Factory and 3/4 Sleeves

I like sleeves to my elbows the best.

Re: Quacker Factory and 3/4 Sleeves

The other day I clicked on the QF show online.  Thought "wonder how many t shirts with 3/4 sleeves I'll see in this show".  Sure enough, they were all there!  I have a couple of soooo cute fall and Christmas sweaters from years ago from QF.  If I want 3/4 sleeves, I will push up my long sleeves.......simple as that, but if I want long sleeves, I've got them.

 

There again, it's all about money.  Scrap the collars, thin out the material and make 3/4 sleeves and there ya go........more money.  I don't click on QF shows anymore and don't watch either.  They lost integrity after Jeanne died.  JMO, folks.

@Nataliesgramma, for half the year maybe, I wouldn’t mind elbow sleeves - if they truly stopped just above the bend of my arm. I’ve tried on “elbow” sleeves that came 1/2-3/4” below the bend and that would drive me nuts ;-( I’m definitely not short - 5’7” after shrinkage ;-) - but the only way to know is try on, which I’d be willing to do. You’re so lucky you can do your own alterations!

I’ve just about stopped clicking on QF products/pages simply because I’m disappointed in what’s offered re sleeve length every time I do check out what’s available. I’ve kept hoping they might offer more variety, but there is a limit to how much longer I’ll bother.
