are cocktail cuffs an option in MTM?

But why? This is a new one to me. Might have read about "cocktail cuffs" years ago in a blog, yet forgotten, since they seem so impractical. Seems like all you're asking for is jacket sleeves which refuse to fall properly over the shirt cuff....

It seems like a good excuse to wear the watch over the cuff.

Cocktail cuffs, for your inner Bond.

And for whoever asked about shirt features that help keep a collar up, I've found that a front placket is better for this. A french placket sometimes collapses under the weight of the collar. Also if you're going to wear the collar unbuttoned, you may consider a rounded collar band (where the top button is) vs squared off one. I think this was discussed on this thread ages ago, and someone may have posted photos. Finally (and Rick or Timothy might have input here), a collar band with heavier innerlining may help keep a collar up.

I’ve called and left two messages with no response in two days. Is this typical?

When it's busy it can be difficult to answer the phones, especially towards to the weekends. Email is the better bet. If you have an urgent issues, pm me the issue and order#

#RoadTo2K 2018 was full of S&M additions. After recieving my first order in December 2017, I added a lot of stuff this year.

My first S&M suit:

Yes, just mention in the comments or send an email to Renu.
Thanks. It'd be nice if all the options get added to the website.

Why not is the main reason. I've a fetish for turnback cuffs.

Spex posted the blog up there where I found them, and I think they look pretty cool.

If the blog is correct, then there should be no practical difference, just a stylistic difference.

Though I dont own any and don’t have any burning desire to get some, I wouldn’t necessarily not get a shirt because of them- I guess I’m ambivalent towards them. That said, I don’t think they would get hung up on a jacket sleeve any more easily than French cuffs would.

Didn’t realize you were in Mex City, if we ever do a TX meetup you should come on up!

Also, fantastic pics as always, love the Neo suits (I’m probably biased, since I have both of those).
