looking for a sweater

drew13...@aol.com
A coworker was talking about this type of sweater that she had bought
in Paris a while back, but the style never really became popular in
the U.S. Now she's really regretting that she didn't buy more. It's
a regular sweater, but it has longer sleeves, and kind of a "hook" for
your thumb to go through so the sleeve covers your hand up to your
knuckles. I know I've seen this before in the U.S., but I can't think
of where, and I haven't seen any recently. Does anyone know what I'm
talking about, or a website that sells them? She said that she's seen
workout gear with a similar style, but not sweaters. Thanks!

I saw a celebrity recently with one and I'm thinking it was Gwyneth Paltrow?
I'm not sure so I'm just thinking out loud but I know what you're talking
about.

Couldn't find sweaters, but here are some others.

This one says it has thumbholes:

Most of the other ones I found were of the see through mesh (yikes!) and
atheletic variety. Hope this helps a little!

Ami,
I'm glad you were able to help! I tried to Google "thumb sweaters". I had
no clue! Don't do it!
