[0039] According to an embodiment herein, the hem finish is designed to hide the pocket and the glove when the glove is not in use.

[0040] According to an embodiment herein, the gloves are designed and configured to be extended out of the pockets during use condition and retracted back into the pockets when not in use or in packed/folded condition.

[0041] According to an embodiment herein, one set of sleeves integrated with the gloves are exchanged with another set of sleeves based on requirement and need. The sleeves are attached to the garment/apparel through a fastener. The fastener is selected from a group consisting of a hem stitching, Velcro-attachment, tape, and zipped fastener.
