My invention relates to gloves or mittens and more particularly to working mens gloves; the object of the invention being to provide a glove wherein the thumb is so constructed and arranged, relative to the other parts, that the glove may be worn on either hand.

In accomplishing this object, I have provided the improved details of structure hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure I illustrates a glove, constructed according to my invention. Fig. II is a detail view of the body portion of the glove.

Referring more in detail to the parts 1 designates the body of the glove, which is preferably formed from a single piece of material, such as cotton fabric, and has the fingers 2; the seam 3 preferably following one of the finger seams, so that the stitching of said seam and the finger seam may be continuous. At one edge of the body portion, the material is cutaway, and the loose edges of the thumb portion 4 are lapped thereover andstitched from near the base of the thumb to a point adjacent to the wrist position, in order to provide loose flaps 5 on the thumb portion and the wrist portions 6 on the body 1, so that the thumb part will fit close at the base ofthe hand, but is free from there to the wrist in order that the glove may comfortably fit either hand. The ends of the glove memberstare preferably provided with extended wrist pieces 5 and spe ens a rate amm- Patented. Jul 28, 1914. Application filed June 21, 1911.
