ABSTRACT:
Long sleeved army military battle dress shirts are temporarily converted to short sleeve shirts with uniformly folded, stiffened and shaped lower shirt cuffs disposed above the elbow. The cuffs are neatly shaped about an internally disposed substantially cylindrical plastic film cuff stiffener appliance. For shaping the cuffs, the sleeves are upwardly folded, outer fabric surface inward to provide a lowermost fold near the elbow. The lowermost portion of the folded over sleeve is then folded upward again to leave an uppermost flap at the sleeve end exposed. The cylindrical cuff stiffening appliance is inserted into a fold between shirt fabric layers and retained thereby so that the upper portion of the fabric at the end of the shirt sleeve may be folded back downwardly over the appliance. This exhibits the outer fabric in a neatly folded and shaped short sleeve cuff, which can produce neat, uniform appearance for non-battle use when short sleeves are desired.
