If you're ordering one that's made to size, be careful with the measuring. Many suppliers will have you measure to a length that will end up too long at the sleeve, where the jacket sleeve ends up at your knuckles when your arm is down. I don't know why they insist on doing this.
I've found that French cuffs stay put a little easier, without slipping up inside the sleeve and requiring me to "shoot my cuffs" as often. They fill the sleeve more and the friction helps keep them riding along with the jacket sleeve, if that makes sense.
Hi Tobus, and thanks for the response and the pics. As with McMurdo's, I think the little flash of shirt at the bottom of your jacket just finishes the look off, probably due to the contrast of the white shirt. Also, great tip on the French cuffs - makes perfect sense that the additional thickness would stop them riding up the sleeves.
