| Abstract: |
A cuff construction having readily accessible coverings for hands, feet and head is provided. The cuff is generally integrally attached to an article of clothing, and folds in on itself for storing the coverings. The cuff is formed at an opening in a garment, such as a glove, sleeve, neck or leg and included a panel along about one half of the circumference of the opening with the two adjacent edges of the panel secured to the cuff. The panel is switchable between a first open position allowing the head, hand or foot to pass through and a second closed position forming a covering around the appendage. The covering may take the form of a glove or mitten, a sock or shoe, or a ski mask or the like. A pocket for ready storage may also be provided.

- at least one opening formed in the article of clothing for the insertion of a wearer's foot;
- a cuff formed about the opening and having a distal end;
- a panel, having a first side and two further parallel sides perpendicular to the first side, the panel having said first side extending for at least a portion of the perimeter of the distal end of the cuff and secured to a cuff along said first side and further secured to said cuff at said parallel sides adjacent to the side secured to the distal end of the cuff, for forming a pocket facing away from the opening, the panel adapted to be folded about a fold line from a first open position to a second closed position, the first open position allowing the foot of the wearer to pass through, and in the second closed position the panel folded over the opening to form a covering for the wearer's foot; wherein said panel, when being folded over the opening, first passes over the heel of the wearer's foot, then around the bottom of the foot and over the foot in a position substantially opposite to its original position on the article of clothing.
