    What's the POINT of chest canvassing on jackets?

    Do your cufflinks show???

    I've had some suits made for me and I thought the length of the sleeves was just right. Not short but not hanging too long like I usually get with off-the-rack. However, I've noticed that when I wear them with French cuffs - and I had those shirts made custom too- not very much of the shirt...
