SLEEVE CUFF MODIFICATION
A sleeve cuff modification includes an elastic connector, which extends from an opening within the sleeve cuff. The elastic connector is stitched on an inner portion of the sleeve and has a button opening that extends through a sleeve opening for attachment to a button on the sleeve. The elastic nature of the connector allows the user to expand the circumference of the sleeve so that the sleeve may be easily rolled up the individual's arm without unbuttoning the sleeve.
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a sleeve cuff modification that allows a user to expand the cuff size through the use of an inserted elastic connector.
2. Description of Related Art
Many individuals wear dress shirts. Dress shirts normally include a button-down front and sleeves that include cuffs that may be button or may require cuff links in order to close the sleeve in a position around the user's wrist. The cuff may be unfastened and the user may roll up the sleeves as desired in certain instances to avoid damage to the cuff Further some individuals roll their sleeves up in a warm situation to allow for a cooler surface over the individual's arm. As stated the connection or closure techniques for a sleeve are typically a button or a cuff link. However it would be advantageous to have a more flexible method that allows the individual to move the sleeve up and down their arm without unbuttoning the sleeve.
SUMMARY OF INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a sleeve cuff modification that includes an elastic connector, which extends from an opening within the sleeve cuff. The elastic connector is stitched on an inner portion of the sleeve and has a button opening that extends through a sleeve opening for attachment to a button on the sleeve. The elastic nature of the connector allows the user to expand the circumference of the sleeve so that the sleeve may be easily rolled up the individual's arm without unbuttoning the sleeve.
The present invention relates to a sleeve cuff modification that includes an elastic connector that is sewn or stitched on an inner portion of a sleeve. At one end thereof the elastic connector receives a stitch to secure the elastic connector on the inside of the cuff. The connector extends from an opening in the cuff and includes a button opening at a distal end of the elastic connector. This button opening attaches to a button provided on the outer surface of the sleeve cuff to secure the sleeve in the closed position. Due to the elastic nature of the connector the sleeve may be expanded as desired to roll the sleeve up an individual's arm.
In reference to
The elastic connector is advantageous in that it may be applied to various dress shirts that have a cuff. The elastic connector is hidden during normal wear of the shirt, therefore it does not diminish the overall look or style of the shirt. The elastic connector does enable the user to easily roll up their sleeve without unbuttoning the shirt cuff and therefore gives the individual flexibility in the wear and use of their shirt.
