Anatomy of the Sleeve and Cuff
From the sleeve placket (gauntlet) with its stabilizing button to the shape of the cuff edge, sleeve finishes provide subtle markers of tailoring quality that discerning customers examine closely.
Barrel Cuffs: Versatility for Daily Wear
Barrel cuffs feature one or two buttons with either round, square, or mitered (angled) edges. Mitered cuffs offer a crisp architectural aesthetic favored by modern executive shirtmakers.
French Double Cuffs: Formal Sophistication
Folded back over themselves and fastened with cufflinks, French cuffs require specialized internal fusing to maintain rigidity throughout formal events and boardroom meetings.
