Well, mittens ans gloves aren't attested anyway. I've read somewhere (canm't remember where) that strips of fabric (wool?) were tied around the hands instead. Something like the 'boxing gloves' of the period, maybe?

There were socks with one toe, but mittens no.

If they had bags, why not pockets? Big Grin
