Tops with thumb holes

21 replies

hoarahloux · 26/10/2024 20:28

I'm sure these used to be popular!

I'd like a plus size zip front hoodie with thumb holes, or a cardigan (with or without buttons) with thumb holes. In black or green preferably. I realise they're not particularly stylish but I have an unexplainable need for one. Any tips?

Bench tops always had thumb holes. I’m not sure if they still exist as a brand but Vinted might be a good shout

Alternative clothing retailers might do them

coronafiona · 26/10/2024 21:53

Running tips of teen have them- try decathlon

Oceangirl82 · 26/10/2024 21:54

Plenty on Amazon!

Sweaty Betty have them.

I have 4 Sweaty Betty ‘after class’ sweatshirts and they all have thumb holes.

Evenstar · 26/10/2024 22:06

M & S Good Move hoodies usually have them, I think they go up to size 24

Ooh, I have a hankering for long sleeve cotton (ie not polyester running tops) tshirts with contrast colour cuffs and thumb holes, anyone come across them? I'm not sure they even exist, but want!!

PancakesForElephants · 26/10/2024 22:34

@hoarahloux Etsy find any good? https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1127325153/long-knit-hoodie-with-thumbholes-in

ParisGellerFTW · 26/10/2024 22:37

A lot of Free People tops have them

hoarahloux · 26/10/2024 23:55

I actually quite like the Free People one suggested, but none of these are zip front or cardigans.

I know I'm fussy but I don't wear sweaters or jumpers that aren't open on the chest, which is why I was looking for zip front or cardigan styles. I barely tolerate long sleeves tbh but in cold weather I find thumb holes make them more bearable. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

@hoarahloux these Uniqlo tops are zip with thumholes, not overly warm though! https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E456261-000/01?colorDisplayCode=03&sizeDisplayCode=003

Black larger sizes sold out but other colours available https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E456261-000/00?colorDisplayCode=09&sizeDisplayCode=003

You could buy MN favourite Turtle Dove recycled cashmere wrist warmers to wear with normal long sleeve t shirts to get the same effect.

They're expensive but beautifully soft and warm. I live in mine in winter as my wrists are always cold.

Perhaps look out for an offer, they might do a good Black Friday deal soon.

marriednotdead · 27/10/2024 05:32

I’ve got one of these and plan to get another colour as it really works for me.
Amazon
I think they come up quite small so I’d size up.

For the non zip-up option, just seen these https://bambooclothing.co.uk/shop/luxe-longline-yoga-top-ocean-teal/. Not totally sure re neck. Annoys me when bits of bra accidentally go on show!

PancakesForElephants · 17/11/2024 22:19

Update re the bamboo top, it's nice but neck hole too big!

@hoarahloux just noticed this on sale at Mountain Warehouse, bamboo hoodie with zip and thumb holes, v few sizes left but might be worth trying in real life? https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/womens-bamboo-rich-full-zip-midlayer-p36974.aspx/blue/
