Sleeve shortening 5 cm for special men’s shirts and blouses

Clear adjustment for special shirts and designer blouses

A sleeve shortening by 5 cm is suitable when the sleeves of a shirt or blouse are clearly too long. Especially with special men’s shirts, designer shirts, artist shirts and eye-catching blouses, not only the design should make an impression, but also the fit.

The required sleeve length depends strongly on individual body shape. A shirt can fit correctly at the chest, waist and shoulders, while the sleeves are still too long. In that case, shortening the sleeves is often better than changing to another size.

When should you choose 5 cm?

Shortening by 5 cm is useful when the cuff clearly extends beyond the middle of the back of the hand. In a normal arm position, it should not fall too far over the hand. Before ordering, the desired shortening should be checked carefully.

If in doubt, a sleeve may be slightly too long rather than too short. Sleeves that are too short can quickly look tight and may feel uncomfortable when you move.

Clean alteration without visible change

We remove the cuff from the sleeve, shorten the sleeve by 5 cm and sew the cuff back on professionally. The aim is an alteration that is not visible from the outside. The garment should still look as if it had been made directly in this length.

As an alternative, the cuff of many GERMENS shirts can be folded back once. This is reminiscent of a double cuff and looks especially attractive when the inside differs in colour or design from the outer fabric.

Further information can be found in the GERMENS alteration service. Since this alteration is carried out individually according to your selection, shortened shirts and blouses cannot be exchanged or returned as regular returns. Justified complaints in the event of defects remain unaffected.
