For the working woman in the 18th century, these simple linen mitts offer protection for the arms from the sun or fibers like wool or hay. These are intended to be somewhat loose fitting and as you can see in the image, a simple silk ribbon or cotton tape can be added to help hold them up. This will truly add a level of authenticity to the working woman's impression.
