you never addressed the rolling up sleeves point. do you never roll up the sleeves on your shirts? i do this regularly (esp. on a summer weekend), and having a short sleeve placket without a button makes this impossible. are you saying that only people who buy RTW would only want to roll up their sleeves, and anyone who buys bespoke shirts would never want to roll up their sleeves? because that would be ******* marsupialed.

Having a short sleeve placket with a button, too.

Sorry.

Rolling up your sleeves is not the only reason why one may want to have a generous gauntlet.
It makes ironing the cuff so much easier.

No gauntlet button EVER!!

2. no

with a grain of salt: buy better shirts...

There is no way to make an FC shirt with the overlapping guantlet of a BC shirt. A quick examination of both side by side should reveal why.

No one on this forum has so little experience with custom clothing yet portrays himself as such an expert as you.

And that's sayin' sumpin around these parts.

Yes we work, and we've been working for a while unlike some know-it-all kid who makes it sound like they know everything from experience. And we also wear shirts when we don't work (shocking - that happens!)

Still and all, I can't remember the last time I rolled up my sleeves.
