Abstract
The present disclosure describes a garment, such as a shirt, having first and second sleeves, each of which comprises a sleeve retention mechanism that includes (a) a button affixed to an exterior surface of the sleeve and (b) a tab loop affixed to an interior surface of the sleeve. The shirt is configured so that, when the sleeve is rolled up, i.e. when the distal end of the sleeve is folded outward and toward the proximal end of the sleeve, a predetermined number of times, the tab loop is positioned substantially adjacent to the exterior button so that the tab loop may be secured to the button to retain the sleeve in the rolled-up position.
