Article of thermal clothing for covering the underlying area at the gap between a coat sleeve and a glove

An article of thermal clothing for covering the underlying area at the gap between a coat sleeve and a glove, said article comprising:

• a tube having a distal portion terminating in a distal end, a proximal portion terminating in a proximal end, and a side opening formed in said distal portion adjacent to but spaced from said distal end;
• said tube being formed out of a fabric that is flexible, resistant to unraveling at non-reinforced cut edges, and somewhat stretchable, wherein said fabric retains a memory of the shape of a wearer's hand and forearm so that after repeated uses by said wearer, said tube tends to be form fitting;
• and
• said tube being sized so that it can be snugly fit over said wearer's hand and forearm so that the distal end of said tube is positioned near the midpalm area of the hand and the proximal end of said tube is positioned at the forearm area, with the wearer's thumb extending out through the tube's side opening.
