| Abstract: |
An improved hand covering is provided which is defined by mating first and second hand shaped portions seamed one to each other to form a complete hand covering. Permanent vertical folds are formed in the hand covering. The vertical folds are oriented parallel to finger stalls of the hand covering. The vertical folds reduce an original palm circumferential dimension of the hand covering in an amount from about 10% to about 50%.
