Is that a dude holding the paper? Because I only thought they made shirts with those thumb holes for girls. I'm 100% asking that seriously. The only time I've ever seen shirts like that are my wife's workout gear.

I've got a thermal layering shirt with the holes. Really nice on cold duck hunts when you need to wear gloves.

I was at the in-laws in Cincinnati for xmas. The sweat shirt hoodies with the thumb holes were a popular item for teenage kids of both genders. I was like WTF never seen that before.

It's for both. I think the original intent was for skiing to allow the thermal layer to cover everything yet give the thumb some extra space.

They are actually meant for ski apparel, but has recently been incorporated..

into workout gear and other types of clothing. The purpose is to keep your sleeves from drawing up your arm while skiing or working out. I had a Mountain Hardwear fleece with those things one time..

Pretty sure its workout gear

I have a running jacket that does the same. I like it...gloves on + thumb loop = no skin exposure.

It was retweeted from a woman.

I work at The North Face's flagship store. Every single one of our running pieces has the holes, men, women, and children.

They gave me a hoodie meant for running and it's pretty aggravating. I don't use them. I reckon 90% of people don't (at least men) which is why you probably haven't noticed it before.

In the Military we get issued those type of shirts, layered they work really well. I wear them hunting, and to the ball games when it is cold.
