Hey all,
I recently acquired a nice, heavyweight 100% cashmere overcoat. Double-breasted, with peak lapels, just how I like it. It fits perfectly everywhere except the sleeves. The sleeves come down to my fingertips.
I'd like to shorten the sleeves by giving the turnback cuffs, but I'm not sure how to do this operation (I'd like to do it myself). How would buttons be positioned on a overcoat sleeve with turnback cuffs? How big should the cuff be?
If anyone can give me some advice or post pictures of their overcoats with turnback cuffs (showing off the cuff--from different angles would be great!) to show me how they look and are made, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks!
