Strikes parts of sleeves (5)
I believe the answer is:
cuffs
This clue might be a double definition.
'strikes' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'parts of sleeves' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
I also know that 'sleeves' relates to this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cuffs that I've seen before include "Sleeve-ends" , "Hits" , "Arresting items" , "Strikes with an open hand" , "boxes" .)
