Mittens are an item that can travel time. No matter what era you're in, keep those fingers warm with wool plush mittens in grey or tan. These are unisex in sizing and are appropriate for men and women portraying working-class and lower personas because they are made out of a wool material rather than more expensive fur or leather.
Samuel Johnson's 1755 dictionary defines mittens as: coarse gloves for winter. While other texts, like Diderot and other dictionaries, show and describe mittens as "differing from a glove in having no divisions for fingers but providing a separate receptical for the thumb"
