I have one jacket with them and I never use them.  Nay for me.  No use for them really.  If my hands are cold I can put them in my pockets or wear gloves.

@Lipstickdiva.  LOL.  It does appear so.

Much like fingerless gloves, they provide warmth a little further down beyond the wrist, onto the hands, yet you still have full use of your fingers as opposed to wearing gloves.  

How difficult can it be to just not use them if you don't like them?  I've only seen them in knits so it's not like there's a gaping hole there when they're not being used.

I don't like them. The sleeves I have with thumb holes get cuffed.

I don't cuff mine, but if your cooking or baking they are really a nusiance, I push my sleeve up over my elbow. I'd rather not have them.

Yay!

Of course they have a purpose. They keep the sleeve over my hand when it's cold, even if I'm driving and my hand and arm are up, the sleeves don't fall down.

They're also helpful on shirts when I'm putting a jacket on. You can always grab the sleeves with your fingers, but sometimes that makes it hard to get your hand through a coat. Sliding it over a thumb means I don't have to make a big first or have my sleeve come loose, making me start over.

They're a great addition. And if I don't want to use them, I can fold them over and they're barely noticeable.

NAY.

So far, thumb holes are dealbreakers for me. The instant I spot them, I’m done. I stop looking at the item online or stop streaming the presentation. No exceptions at all to this so far.

I pass on buying tops that have them. 

For one thing, I live in a moderate climate with a short winter. I don't feel I need the extra warmth.

Also, I only see them on casual tops and workout wear. That's the sort of thing I wear around the house, doing cooking and cleaning, etc. I want my hands and wrists free for those tasks.

I don't do holes, or rips ,or tears in anything

Thanks everyone.  I appreciate all your replies and opinions.   Personally, I don't think thumb holes are necessary.  Some of you do.  Interesting to hear both sides.
