    Threads like this are great because members like Tobus will post great photos and information, and also they force me to take a look at aspects of my own clothes that I hadn't thought about.

    Here are my tweed Argylls L-R labelled "Made In Scotland", "Made In United Kingdom", and "Cooper & McKenzie Made In United Kingdom".

    As you see only the Cooper & McKenzie has actual cuffs.



    Here's a cuff turned out. It's only held by a short bit of stitching at the base of the points



    Another view.



    At the bottom the outside tweed just turns over, and goes up around an inch where it's let into the satin lining.

    One could, my merely undoing the bit of stitching at the cuff-points, shorten or lengthen the sleeves without having to do any other sewing.

    Overall, the Cooper & McKenzie cuffs most resemble Tobus' jacket #3.
