Important of cuffs and collars In the construction of Men's Shirts

We know cuffs are a very important part of a gentleman’s ensemble; besides the collar, they are one of the only visible parts of a shirt when a jacket is worn.

Shirt cuffs should extend one inch past the jacket sleeves, and they can provide a polished look to one's ensemble. In this article we will talk about two of the most common types of cuffs; Button and French cuffs.

Button Cuffs

Button cuffs are single cuffs, which wrap around the arm and are buttoned into place. The most common button cuffs have a single button or may be adjustable, with two buttons side-by-side. These are the cuffs most commonly found on ready-made shirts.

In custom shirt circles, you’ll find dress shirt cuffs with two buttonholes and two vertical buttons, a more formal option often called the barrel cuff. Button cuffs may also have a small button on the sleeve between the cuff and the end of the cuff opening.

collars

Many details go into the construction of a men’s cotton shirt, and the more attention one pays to these the better results one can achieve in purchasing and wearing one. The men’s dress shirt collar is the most important, both in determining the garment’s level of formality and in flattering the wearer’s unique face.

Button-down collars are the least formal and are the best collars to wear without a tie. They also go well with a tie and sweater, blazer, or sport coat.  The wing collar, which does not cover the band of the tie around the neck, is reserved for formal wear.
