Why Choose Laundrykhalas for
Sleeve Alterations in the UAE?

Placket Preservation

01

In the UAE, when shortening shirt sleeves, we move the entire button placket up the sleeve so the cuff details look untouched.

Shoulder Sizing Option

02

If a jacket has working buttonholes on the cuff, we shorten the sleeve from the shoulder seam to preserve the cuff design across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Silk Lining Tailoring

03

We separately cut and hand-stitch the inner lining of suit sleeves to guarantee there is no bunching or pulling inside across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Cuff Custom Taper

04

In the UAE, we can narrow loose, flared sleeve cuffs to match the slimmer contour of your arms, offering a modern tailored profile.

Did You Know?

🍿 Trivia Fact Sheet Tap to Cycle Facts

🧥

Surgeon Cuffs

Working Buttons

Jackets with working buttonholes must be shortened from the shoulder to avoid cutting into the buttonholes.

👔

Cuffs

The 1/2 Inch Rule

A suit jacket sleeve should end just above the wrist, showing exactly 1/2 inch of shirt cuff.

🧵

Plackets

Sleeve Placket

Shortening a shirt sleeve by more than 1 inch requires moving the placket upwards to keep proportions.

🪡

Lining

Sleeve Lining

We slip-stitch sleeve lining by hand at the cuff cuff to prevent bulkiness and allow natural arm bending.

Care Science

Custom Washing Simulator

Shortening a suit jacket sleeve with "working buttonholes" (surgeon cuffs) is extremely difficult because you cannot cut from the bottom without cutting into the buttonholes. Instead, our tailors remove the entire sleeve and shorten it from the shoulder armhole.
