Abstract
A pair of long sleeves of a shirt are severed above the elbow to provide short sleeves extending from the shirt and a pair of arm covering parts independent therefrom. The arm covering parts are zipped to the short sleeves by zippers which are covered by inner flaps to prevent contact between the zipper and the arm and outer flaps to hide the zippers.
