Creating your first shirt with our AI : right‑wrist measurement

You are creating your first LE CHEMISEUR® shirt with our AI and would like to adjust the right‑wrist circumference? This page is for you.

Best practice

Cuffs must be tight enough to keep the sleeves from sliding over the hand, yet remain comfortable and easy to button. You should be able to pinch about 1.5 cm of fabric at the side.

We recommend adding + 1 cm to the wrist on the side where you wear a watch. This almost‑imperceptible allowance still lets you wear the shirt without a watch.

When to adjust

In most cases there is no need to change this measurement; you can fine‑tune it later on a future shirt.

🗜 Slim wrists or very fitted sleeves

Subtract – 1 cm. You will still be able to close the button, but rolling up the sleeves will be harder.

⌚ Bulky watch

Add + 2 cm (instead of + 1 cm) on the watch side.

What the right‑wrist measurement is

Unbutton the cuff and lay it flat. Measure from the centre of the button to the centre of the buttonhole. French cuffs are measured from the centre of one buttonhole to the centre of the other.
