Is it an expensive or treacherous operation to change a shirt's cuffs? I have french cuff shirt and I am thinking of having it tailored to Barrel cuffs.

It may seem to be a little expensive for what is essentially just two straight cuts and a straight line stitch. But I assure you, you don't want to cheap out.

The cuffs and collar are the most visible part of a dress shirt. Treat them as such.

If you are wearing a jacket, then sure. Otherwise, not so much.

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
