Abstract
A coat sleeve includes a cuff that folds down to cover the palm portion of the hand. The cuff is held in place over the palm by constrictions about the wrist and knuckles. The constrictions include means for snugging and loosening (elastic and/or fasteners such as snaps, buttons, or VELCRO). The fingers extend from the sleeve end and the thumb extends through a thumb hole disposed between the wrist and knuckle constrictions. In one embodiment the thumb hole connects to the sleeve end and the knuckle constriction acts as a closure for the thumb hole and for the cuff.

In a thermal-protection coat for covering selectively a user's torso, arm, wrist, palm, and knuckles, the coat having a torso portion and a sleeve, the improvement wherein the sleeve comprises:
- a cuff portion distal the torso portion;
- an arm portion intermediate the cuff portion and the torso portion;
- means for folding the cuff portion between
- an extended position, wherein the cuff portion and the arm portion have a generally tube-like configuration encircling the palm, and
- a folded-back position, wherein the cuff portion encircles the arm portion;
- wrist constriction means for selectively distending and snugging the sleeve about the wrist of the user, the wrist constriction means being intermediate the arm portion and the cuff portion;
- knuckle constriction means for selectively distending and snugging the sleeve about the palm of the user, the knuckle constriction means being disposed adjacent an end of the cuff distal the wrist constriction means;
- and
- a thumb opening disposed between the wrist constriction means and the knuckle constriction means and between a front palm portion of the cuff and a back palm portion of the cuff, for a thumb of the user to extend outside of the sleeve;
- whereby the cuff portion may in the folded-back position uncover the palm of the user and may in the extended position be held over the palm by the wrist constriction and the knuckle constriction so as to warm the palm.
