    Goddamn French cuffs.

    I've bought a new dress shirt for my wedding. My fiancée insisted I buy one with French cuffs. Well, I did. Turns out, the sleeves are a little too long, and the cuffs are too wide for my jacket sleeves to obey the law of gravity. Every time I flex my arm, the jacket sleeve rides up and can't fall down because the cuff is wider than the sleeve.
    What should I do? Is it a huge faux pas to fasten my cuff like a normal O-shaped one, not a teardrop-shaped one to make it smaller? Or should I just have my shirt fitted?

      I remember once disappearing off with a couple of these shirts and forgetting to take some cufflinks when I was abroad on business last year. I improvised amazingly with a travel sewing kit with some thread to tie the things together. Not exactly the classy look I was after, but beats the early 80s new romantic look on the other hand

          A stapler works also.

            Heh. In my last year of school, my backpack was pretty torn up, but I refused to buy another just for one year. I ended up stapling all the broken seams, to stop my stuff from falling out.

                Buy clothes that properly fit is my suggestion. If that's to expensive then see about getting a tailor to do some alterations for you.

                  Just pin or staple the damn thing. No one is going to be looking at you anyway.

                    Shouldn't they be called "Freedom Cuffs"?

                          Congrats

                          Sorry if it's late, but I haven't followed the forum for a while.

                            Thanks, we're getting married on the 25th. I've taken the shirt to a tailor, so now it fits fine. I still think French cuffs are retarded, but it's just a single day, so I'll live through this.
