I use men's cotton shirts with long sleeves. You keep the cuff buttoned and put your thumb through the hole, and it covers your hand that is on the steering wheel. This works so well as you can wear what you want and it slides on and off so easily. I keep them in the car all summer when I don't normally wear long sleeves. tana50https://www.blogger.com/profile/04610911774620693819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-37442972365967372612018-07-21T03:18:07.649+01:002018-07-21T03:18:07.649+01:00So often I find garments in the thrift store that ...So often I find garments in the thrift store that are fine except for a seam or a lost button or some other small repair.

I once had a work dress passed down to me from my Mom and discovered that at least one of the long sleeves had a cut in the fabric,like it was snagged on something. Not suitable for a professional to wear as is, I converted the sleeves to short sleeves and wore that dress for several years before donating it.
