Sleeve shortening 9 cm for long sleeve men’s shirts and blouses

Strong adjustment for long sleeve shirts and blouses

With the sleeve shortening by 9 cm, a clearly too-long sleeve on a long sleeve men’s shirt, a special cotton shirt for men or a blouse is individually adjusted. This alteration is useful when the cuff clearly extends beyond the back of the hand and the sleeves feel too long in everyday wear.

A GERMENS shirt should not only stand out through art, pattern and colour, but also feel comfortable to wear. If the upper body fit is right but the sleeves are too long, this alteration can be the right solution.

When is 9 cm shortening suitable?

Shortening by 9 cm is one of the stronger alterations. It should be selected when the cuff sits clearly below the desired position. Please check the sleeve length in a natural posture, not with the arm stretched out tensely.

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.

Precise shortening with the original cuff

The cuff is carefully detached. We then remove 9 cm of fabric from the sleeve and sew the cuff back on professionally. The aim is a clean alteration that is not visible and preserves the high-quality workmanship of the shirt or blouse.

With GERMENS shirts, folding the cuff back once can be a stylish alternative. The visible inside often creates an interesting pattern or colour effect that is reminiscent of a modern double cuff.

Further details can be found in the GERMENS alteration service. Since this adjustment is carried out according to your selection, the shortened shirt or blouse is excluded from regular exchange and return. Statutory rights in the event of defects remain unaffected.
