Searching for solution snow cuff, inner cuff with thumb hole, wrist thingy, or DIY suggestion

[2ski2moro]

I bought a new jacket and it doesn’t have a snow cuff or cuff with a thumb hole.

I never realized how useful it was until it was missing.

I have a gap and, in addition, my gloves don’t slide over my hand very well when I’m sweaty.

Does someone make a wristlet or is there something I can make? (I sew) I don’t want anything thick or warm. Just like stretchy, swimsuit nylon.

Should I attach it to the jacket or make a “fingerless glove”

Image for example of what I’d like.

Do you have a jacket with them that you no longer wear? You could always sacrifice the one jacket to add them to the new one.

Or there's these: https://www.amazon.com/Go-Athletics-Weather-Wrist-Gaiters/dp/B00Q1UBKPC

Attaching them to the jacket would prevent them from getting lost, or shifting and bunching between layers when you put your jacket on.

Thanks for your research. I don’t have any old jackets to sacrifice or any shirts with thumb holes.

I’m leaving for Austria before Amazon could get those to me. Looks like I’m going to wing it.

You never know how much you need something until it’s gone.

Austria, fun! (Now I'm thinking schnitzel, and it's only breakfast time.)

My next suggestion was going to be either the sale rack at Old Navy (their activewear tops often have the thumbhole) or similar at a thrift store. If you want a pattern "sewing fingerless gloves" seems to pull up more than either wrist gaiter or wrist warmer.

Thanks again! Old Navy is a good idea.
