Cuffs With Plackets

A placket is a finished opening or slit in a garment often made with a fabric strip where it fastens (with buttons, snaps or zippers). The cuffs with plackets are generally attached to the long end of the sleeve and requires a cuff-and-placket opening fastened snuggly around the wrist. Of this type of cuffs, the most popular types are the Shirt cuff and the French cuff. Each one is made up and attached to the sleeve at its edge. The Shirt cuff is sewn with its ends aligned to the underlap and overlap edges of the shirt placket, whereas the French cuff is sewn to the placket edges so that the ends of the cuff meet rather than lap, the cuff is cut wide to double back onto itself.
