Juzo makes only sleeves in Varin soft -- I happen to love the Varin soft, but unfortunately they won't make gloves in that fabric. My fitter tried to get them to do that recently, and it never worked -- my fingers turned blue within seconds. (My fitter calmly said, "Hmmm! I don't like that color at all. Back they go!" 
So we went with Gottfried, which has a remarkable 4-day turn-around time, so I got them within a week.
Brand new gloves/sleeves of any brand are not easy to get on, but they become truly wearable within a few days. If you do get new ones you can don, be sure not to wear them for long the first couple of days, until your arm can adjust. My fitter found Gottfried especially easy to deal with, by the way, which makes dealing with my special needs SOOOOOOO much easier.
Keep me posted, okay? Wish we could private message or email each other, but I don't think this site has that feature. Ah, well!
