Do you stuff your jacket sleeves?

[Kasper]

With the abundance of newspapers that I collect at Starbucks I have thought about the benefits of stuffing my suit jacket sleeves. I think that this would have similar benefits for the jackets as shoe trees/newspaper does for shoes as it would wick away moisture and odor and help preserve the jacket's shape. I have already done it with one jacket; it's fairly easy procedure if you crinkle the paper and than make a cylinder. Have any other members thought about or done this or is their another product for jackets similar to shoe trees that you are using?

I don't understand why you would do this? High quality jackets shouldn't develop creases while being hung normally. If anything, they should smooth out by the effect of gravity. Stuffing something in them is likely to cause creases/wrinkles, not take them out.

The potential for ink transfer from the newsprint to any part of the jacket is tremendous. Furthermore, those ink deposits will transfer back to any shirt or sweater when you decide to wear the jacket. Invest your time in something with true benefits.

sleeve stuffing is done when shipping suits.
if you have the proper hangers no stuffing is needed.
but if you have a very large size jacket and a small hanger stuffing may help.

I've seen jackets in the stores that have stuffed sleeves.

Tissue paper perhaps, but please not newsprint.

I was so expecting this thread to be about stuffing sleeves while wearing them to make your biceps bigger. It turned out to be weirder than that.

I like to stuff my trouser legs as well. That way, they can stand on their own, saving precious closet space.

Stuffing jacket sleeves is for stuffed shirt.

You mean like this?

Don't forget to stuff socks in where you would hope to have biceps.

This will make you look more manly.
