Internal Sleeve Hooks For Coats

Recently it has been cold and there has been much snow. When it doesn't melt the novelty wears off quickly. Anyhow, walking to work and doing errands clearly needs a coat in the present frigid temperatures, this is unavoidable unless you were born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Beyond this, gloves are also appropriate, but wearing gloves is annoying in the extreme; hands are very impressive combined manipulators/sensors and wrapping them in thick fabric breaks most of their functionality. Unlike coats, gloves can be avoided for the most part, simply put your hands in your pockets when not in use and they'll cope with the few seconds of exposure it takes to open a door or whatever.

A scenario that disrupts this fairly agreeable scenario is having to carry something in a bag. Now your hands are performing the function of a hook to carry a small bag. This leaves at least a couple of fingers out in the cold.

It strikes me that the same hook function could be performed by a small hook. So, lets place a small flat-metal hook inside coat sleeves. Then if you buy a small item, you can hang the bag from this hook. Your hand can then retreat into the sleeve for warmth safe in the knowledge that the sleeve entrance is at least partially draft-proofing the opening.

The same hooks would also be useful for clipping on gloves, which get lost frequently because there's nowhere easy to keep them when not in use.
