Abstract
Fashion accessories including various styles of cuffs, buttons, etc. One such accessory is referred to as an “American cuff,” and provides a technique for transforming a conventional long-sleeved button cuff shirt to appear as a long-sleeved French cuff shirt. Typically, a long sleeve button shirt with a button cuff has a button on the outside of a first side of the cuff, which is then passed from inside to outside through a buttonhole on the opposing side of the cuff. With the American cuff, a button is located on the inside of the first side of the cuff and is passed from inside to outside through the buttonhole on the opposing side of the cuff, such that the cuff halves are mated in a manner that replicates a French cuff. A button cap may be secured on the button to emulate the appearance of a cufflinked shirt.
