Creating your first shirt with our AI : left cuff circumference

You are creating your first LE CHEMISEUR® shirt with our AI and would like to adjust the left cuff 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. The AI added it automatically if you selected “Watch worn on the left”.

When to adjust

In most cases there is no need to modify this measurement; you can fine-tune it later for 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 might be harder.

⌚ Large watch

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

Compare with a shirt you already own

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.
