I prefer fitted shirt cuffs. I see alot of people wearing them very large and they tend to ride up.

What do you think?

I agree. I like a tight, soft cuff. RTW tend not to have them for the same reason there are blousy bodies and large armholes, and also people tend to wear overly large watches.

I like them with just enough room so they can fit a wristwatch under, with a bit of comfort room to spare. Too-tight cuffs are uncomfortable and look geeky. Too loose cuffs slide down and make your sleeves look too long. I have had rather tough time finding RTW cuffs that fit properly, but that is the beauty of MTM.

My cuffs are always very fitted, think Marchello in "Yesterday, Today and Tommorow". My left cuff has just enough room to fit a thinner dress watch but i don't have a really nice watch so i don't wear one.

Depends on the fullness of the sleeve. If the cuff is too much narrower than the sleeve, you looks like you're wearing one of those groo-oo-oovy shirts from the 70's -- what did they call those?

I wear a small watch, however, it is somewhat tall since it's a '40s watch and with a rectangular large curved crystal that absolutely doesn't fit under a tight cuff.
