Great pattern, ugly cuffs (and pockets).

I thought it would look nice if 2 of the 4 cuff buttons went through a 360 degree turnback.

I prefer Fleming's cuffs, though it's what I'm most used to seeing. Roger Moore had them on many suits in the colour episodes of The Saint, but his only had one button. I don't think I'd like cuffs that go all the way around, it would look too much like a trouser leg. I find Fleming's cuffs aesthetically pleasing yet effective enough to protect the end of the sleeve.
