Cuffs finish the sleeve

The cuff should hold shape without becoming hard. Its depth, button position, and relationship to sleeve width all affect how deliberate the shirt feels.

The placket sets the front line. A plain front, raised placket, or stitched placket changes the rhythm of the shirt. This is where construction and visual identity meet.

Details are not decoration when they control the structure of the garment.

Details to judge

  • Collar roll and balance.
  • Cuff depth and closure comfort.
  • Placket stiffness and alignment.
  • Button spacing down the front.
  • Stitching consistency on visible edges.
