| Abstract: |
A method for manufacturing 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. The hand covering defines at least one finger stall, a thumb stall, a palm portion, a dorsal portion, and at least one finger crotch. At least one vertical fold is permanently defined in the hand covering. The at least one vertical fold is oriented substantially parallel to the at least one finger stall. The at least one vertical fold reduces an original palm circumferential dimension of the hand covering in an amount from about 10% to about 50%.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. A method of producing a hand covering, the hand covering having a plurality of finger stalls, a thumb stall, a thumb crotch, a palm portion, a dorsal portion, and a plurality of finger crotches, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing mating first and second Flat Pattern hand covering portions;
- seaming said first and second hand covering portions to form a complete Flat Pattern hand covering;
- providing an orienting assembly dimensioned to be insertably received within said complete hand covering;
- providing a sufficient orienting force, against the orienting assembly, to form vertical folds in the hand covering;
- providing at least one length of tape;
- permanently bonding the at least one length of tape in a location on the hand covering generally laterally aligned with the thumb crotch; and
- permanently defining the vertical folds in said hand covering with the at least one length of tape such that an original palm circumferential dimension of the hand covering is reduced in an amount from about 10% to about 50%.
