Do they have an actual name? Dd2 really likes the couple she has but I've no idea what to search for to find her more.

& any recommendations for brands to look at for them?

Thanks!

No idea what they’re called but mine are all from sweaty Betty if that helps

bugalugs45 · 20/09/2026 10:22

SB tend to call them after class sweatshirt

@bugalugs45 thank you, I'll have a look on Sweaty Betty now.

Nike and adidas have thumb hole top pages on their websites. I love a thumb hole top.

No idea either but mine all came from Aybl!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 20/09/2026 16:08

i have one from Good Move

I have a few from Nike.

Often 'running tops' have these - the design is to help keeps wrists covered and warmer while exercising outside.

Also great and comfy inside when it's chilly - i have a top with them on right now 😁

Edit: Nike has a dedicated page for them too! And just calls them 'thumbholes' - keeping it simple. https://www.nike.com/gb/w/thumbholes-tops-t-shirts-5e1x6z9om13zb5r3sznik1

If she's got short arms tho don't bother I have and all mine look bloody ridiculous

VividDeer · 21/09/2026 11:26

I have m&s one too. And its fairly short armed!

KojaksLollipop · 21/09/2026 11:56

Am I the only one who can’t stand them over my thumb. I used to think I’d like them and got a few but actually having them hooked on makes my skin crawl, lol. Only me?

I know that’s not what the OP is asking, lol.

I'm with you! I really don't like them. And they never make the arms long enough.

I also have a sports jacket from Uniqlo with the thumbholes.

It reminds me of holes in my school jumper to keep our hands warm in winter!

pkt3chgirl · 21/09/2026 12:45

Asking for DD - does anyone know if there are school cardigans with these? She has cut holes in her cuffs. My plan was to create large button holes in her cuffs on my machine.

BAM do lovely soft yoga style tops with thumb holes, really nice to wear (relaxed not fitted), different colours, often have a sale on.

lucysmam · 27/09/2026 19:48

I hadn't realised until today that there were more replies, much appreciated & we'll look this week.

Dd is short, but I can't say her arms are especially short, so we'll try some and see what they're like. They can always go back if not right.

Gymshark are great for these

My son has one and it was advertised as a base layer in Sports Direct, but not all of them had the holes.
