Calgal,
We have gotten alittle funny in this thread with extremes like the burkas.. No one is saying that hands must be hidden.. They are not listed anywhere in the scriptures along with other parts...
Those of us who support more fuller coverings are using descriptions from scripture of what should be covered... Body, Legs, head, etc.... Quote:

For it is they which must be subjected, for the sake of which "power" ought to be "had on the head:" the veil is their yoke.
…. who cover not only the head, but the face also, so entirely, that they are content, with one eye free, to enjoy rather half the light than to prostitute the entire face."
Tertullian on the Veiling of Virgins A.D. 198
