Argyle Sleeve Cuff Details?

Thanks, Wizard.

So the cuff is longer on one side than the other... I asume if you have your arms down to the sides, the short side of the cuff would be against your body?

Hi Ted,

Sorry, no. The slope on the Argyle cuff is fore to aft. That is to say that when your arms are at your sides the cuff at the front (thumb) is about 4" rising to about 5" at the back (little finger) in a gentle curve (not a straight line). There are 3 visible buttons of the smaller size (smaller than the jacket buttoning buttons). From each of these visible buttons comes a row of stitching, (like an extended button hole) all the way down to the bottom edge (folded edge) of the cuff. This stitching is quite prominent and visible and is what makes an Argyle cuff. The same stitching and three buttons is found on the two front pockets.

As far as I understand, the shape of the lapel is not so important, be it shawl or notched. It is the cuffs and pockets together that make it an Argyle.

I hope this has helped.

Regards

Chas
