Custom Suit Sleeves and Shirt Cuffs: Precision Details That Define a Modern Fit

When it comes to a custom suit, the sleeve is more than just fabric. It’s a statement of precision. At Zane in Jacksonville Florida, we tailor every sleeve with attention to proportion, drape, and functional details. The image shown highlights a key element of great tailoring: a clean transition from suit sleeve to shirt cuff with aligned buttons and a balanced sleeve break. Small details like this define the difference between a standard suit and one that is truly custom.

Shirt Cuff Visibility Is a Mark of a Well-Fitted Suit
Your shirt cuff should extend about half an inch past the jacket sleeve. Our custom shirt and suit fittings are designed to achieve this balance every time. We measure arm length, shoulder pitch, and watch space to ensure the sleeve is both comfortable and properly tailored.

Custom Buttons, Sleeve Length, and Seam Finishing
We offer functional surgeon’s cuffs, contrast buttonhole thread options, and horn or tonal buttons to personalize the sleeve finish. The fabric in this featured image is a subtle pinstripe wool, lightly textured for fall wear. The buttons are matched for a tonal look that complements the warm color palette.

Shirts Tailored to Match Your Suit Fit
At Zane, we don’t just tailor your jacket. We craft your shirt to match. Whether you wear French cuffs, barrel cuffs, or casual soft cuffs, our shirts are designed to align with your jacket’s fit and purpose. You choose your collar, fabric, and finishing details for a seamless final look.

Appointments Required for Full Custom Process
We only accept clients by appointment to ensure one-on-one attention and perfect measuring. Each suit and shirt pairing is made to order, and clients can also bring in existing shirts or jackets for reference when requesting matching items.
