Proper Cloth has a range of cuff options to choose from: one button, two button, French cuffs, casual unfused cuffs, etc. Details on each cuff style available are listed below.<\/p>\n

One Button Barrel Cuff<\/h2>\n

Our standard dress shirt cuff. The one button barrel is understated and classic. You can’t go wrong with this choice. This cuff is fused to maintain a crisp appearance and measures 2.375″.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/p>\n

Long One Button Barrel Cuff<\/h2>\n

A slightly longer version of our standard one button barrel cuff. We based this cuff off the style common among the great Neapolitan shirt makers, and it contributes to a more proportionally balanced look for guys with longer arms (34″ or so and up). This cuff is fused to maintain a crisp appearance and measures 2.875″.<\/p>\n

\"Long<\/p>\n

One Button Mitered Cuff<\/h2>\n

The one button mitered cuff is a dressy cuff that has the elegant mitered angle at the button closure, and\u00a0the smaller size of a one button cuff. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp appearance and 2.625″ long.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/p>\n

Two Button Rounded Cuff<\/h2>\n

The two button rounded cuff is dressier than a one-button cuff, but not as formal as a two-button mitered cuff. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp appearance and\u00a02.875″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

Two Button Mitered Cuff<\/h2>\n

The two button mitered cuff is a popular dress shirt cuff that is dressier\u00a0and more elegant than a standard\u00a0barrel cuff.\u00a0The two button placement makes this cuff a good match for wearing with watches. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp, dressy appearance and measures 2.875″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

French Cuff<\/h2>\n

Our standard French Cuff is the go-to choice\u00a0for tuxedo shirts. It is a completely square cuff shape\u00a0and requires cufflinks to be worn. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp, dressy appearance and measures 2.875″ long when folded back.<\/p>\n

\"(square)<\/p>\n

Rounded French Cuff<\/h2>\n

The rounded French cuff is just like the standard French cuff, except it has a rounded corner on the back edge nearest to the wrist. It is no less formal, merely\u00a0a slightly different style. French cuffs require cufflinks to be worn. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp, dressy appearance and measures 2.875″ long when folded back.<\/p>\n

\"Rounded<\/p>\n

Convertible Square Cuff<\/h2>\n

The convertible square cuff can be worn either buttoned like a barrel cuff, or with cufflinks. This cuff is fused to keep a crisp appearance and is 2.5″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Convertible<\/p>\n

Note that when the cuff is worn with cufflinks, the button is on the outside of the cuff (not touching your skin). However since it is on the side of the cuff that is facing the body it is generally not noticeable, and the cuff will have the appearance of simply being a French cuff.<\/p>\n

Soft One Button Cuff<\/h2>\n

The same shape as our one button barrel, but without the stiff fusing. This is a soft, comfortable cuff that is a good match for casual style shirts. Without the fusing, the cuff shows personality and a bit of puckering. Cuff measures 2.375″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Soft<\/p>\n

Soft Long One Button Cuff<\/h2>\n

The same shape as our long one button barrel, but without the stiff fusing. This is a soft, comfortable cuff that is a good match for casual style shirts. We based this cuff off the style common among the great Neapolitan shirtmakers, and it contributes to a more proportionally balanced look for guys with longer arms (34″ or so and up). Cuff measured 2.875″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Soft<\/p>\n

Soft Square Two Button Cuff<\/h2>\n

For a slightly larger and more interesting casual cuff, consider the soft square two button. The unfused cuff\u00a0bends and conforms to the wrist much easier and generally feels more relaxed. Cuff measures 3.125″ long.<\/p>\n

\"Soft<\/p>\n

Soft French Cuff<\/h2>\n

A more relaxed version of the classic square french cuff. The soft, unfused interlining gives this an easy-going appeal. Measures 2.875″ long when folded back.<\/p>\n

\"Soft<\/p>\n\n\n
