Needs longer sleeves

>On most horses I`ve seen those sleeves would make it look like the horse was wearing shorts.Maybe they`d work if the horse was wearing wellingtons.

Hope nobody minds if I take this a bit off topic and ask what type of rain hat thier horse prefers.I`m talking everyday wear now,something for go not show.

Mainely,Bob-Waiting for the Cooffee to kick in(although it may appear that it already has).

Google yielded Selvyt cloths for electron microscopy, stating in boldface: "This is the official Selvyt, not to be confused with imitations of this fine product."

I prefer the ubiquitous "Selvyt SR" which can be found from most any jeweler supply. It's the only nondisposable product (I love Kimwipes, too) that ever touches my microscope lenses and surgical loupes (invaluable for sharpening DT saws, btw). It's also the perfect lint-free cloth for finishing.

Buy a dozen 5 x 5 cloths for under a dollar each from:
