Go to a haberdashery or similar shop. Maybe Amazon. Check supermarket too.
Buy elastic. Usually comes wound around a card.
Measure length between one sleeve end, across the back, looped through coat loop thingy and down other sleeve adding a bit extra.

Cut ‘lastic and sew each end to gloves.
Im sure by now, if you do that, you’ll know what to do next.

You can actually buy elastic with button holes sewn in to its length so you can sew buttons on to the gloves and on to your coat sleeves and then attach and remove the gloves as you wish without having a long elastic piece across your back. You can do the same with hats and scarves. It’s handy for dc anyway!
