It was the early 90's, grunge was in full swing and we were at that awkward stage where you are unsure of your changing body and hide behind your clothing.</p> <p>I do quite like this dress in black<br /> <a href="http://www.asos.com/Unconditional/Unconditional-Drape-Neck-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2200331&#038;SearchQuery=thumb%20holes&#038;Rf-400=3028&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Anthraflannel" rel="nofollow">http://www.asos.com/Unconditio.....hraflannel</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712255 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:48:34 +0000 ElleH 712255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have them on my Lululemon gear &amp; like the warmth they provide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712252 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:35:10 +0000 CocoLion 712252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of these as thongs for my hands. While I easily tolerate my Hanky Pankys, and don't mind flip flops, I can't get used to the binding feeling around my thumbs. Even though they look cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712228 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 04:26:34 +0000 Nadya 712228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot of my Columbia casual and gear wear has thumb holes and I love them for both their coziness and usefulness. So much easier to put a coat on over a sweater when the sweater has thumb holes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712187 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 03:15:51 +0000 annagybe 712187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I first discovered them on Lululemon tops. I love them. I'd rather have my sleeves too long than short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712183 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 03:01:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 712183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!

But I've always thought of them as very "gearish" so it's funny hearing someone talk about them on a fashion website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712031 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 23:26:29 +0000 Jjsloane 712031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sole Nay so far. I've always wondered what they were for? I have a few Gap Body items with them and never actually put my thumbs in the holes (seems restrictive and not allowing of scrunching of sleeves) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-712004 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:34:25 +0000 K. Period. 712004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! Love it! Maybe I should see if they can alter the Trouve jacket by just adding in thumb holes along the side seam of the sleeve instead of shortening them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711999 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:22:09 +0000 Gracey at Fashion for Giants 711999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, but for a weird reason. I'm so tall that a lot of times I'll buy the tops with the thumb holes because they have the longer arms and actually fit me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711993 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:17:37 +0000 cinnamon fern 711993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Rick Owens does/used to do some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711987 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:07:15 +0000 celia 711987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I have a hot pink hoodie with thumb holes.I feel very RATE when wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711965 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:27:22 +0000 Louise 711965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep I love them too on slouchy comfy clothes x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711963 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:25:25 +0000 Aziraphale 711963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too. I once bought a brown Billabong hoodie on the strength of the thumb holes, even though it also had hideous purple heart graphics all down the sleeves. Back then (eight or nine years ago, maybe?) it was the first time I had seen thumb holes, and I thought it was the neatest thing ever.</p> <p>It has occurred to me that I might cut my own, since every sweatshirt I've ever owned has too-long sleeves -- one of the problems with being a shortie. I've never tried it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711961 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:20:18 +0000 Kristin L 711961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love thumb holes as well! The only things I've seen them on are athletic clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-a-fan-of-thumb-holes#post-711956 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 21:08:13 +0000 catgirl 711956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or "hobo mitts" as Title 9 calls them? I've seen lots of sports gear with the extra long sleeves and a hole for your thumb, and I love it. It gives me the same feeling as BF jeans - like slouch for your hands. Not to mention quite practical for me. </p> <p><a href="http://www.titlenine.com/product/450968.do?sli=X-Small_Aloe/turkish_coffee_0&#038;kwd=Hobo+Mitts" rel="nofollow">http://www.titlenine.com/produ.....Hobo+Mitts</a></p> <p>if you see any dressier sweaters with this feature, I'd love to see them! </p>
