For this purpose each of the members 13 is slit transversely as indicated at 15 to provide a loop 16 which is G at the inner end of the member 13. ThlS loop is adapted to lie across the back of the finger an to be engaged b a loop 17 which is carried by the glove. his last mentioned loop is formed of a strip of flexible material having one end permanently secured to the glove and carrying at this end a button 18. The opposite end of the stri is provided with a button hole 19 so that w en the strip is passed through the loop as shown in Fig. 2 it may be buttoned over to provide a 100 17 as previously stated. After the members 13 have been used or become worn, they may e invention be reversed and to do said member and position the loop 16 at the opposite side and replace the member upon the glove with the loop at the back of the finger as before. The loops 16 may then be secured to the loops 17.

The reinforcing thumb member 14 is provided upon opposite sides near its inner end with slits 20 so as to form loops for engagement with loops 21 located upon opposite sides of the love thumb.
