I agree with the comments about rolling the sleeve once to the inside, It makes for the cleanest look and is loose enough to let a lot of air up the sleeve. By keeping the placket buttoned, it keeps it even neater and is just enough to hold the cuff. I’ve heard this called the “ward cuff” for some reason but I’m not sure where the name comes from.

I learned this in the navy :) master roll is superclassy, though depends on the shirt…

I also like rolling the sleeves up, as it gives me more sexy look.

I prefer the Military roll(master roll, but you flip down the cuff over the sleeve). It looks very professional, especially in NWU’s.

You didn’t metion the inside cuff roll. Instead of flipping the cuff out , you fold it in. Gives the shirt a 3 /4 slveeve look.

I once had a student teacher who had a fellow student observing my classroom as a favor and at the end of the lesson he asked me if I was ex-military. I am (ex-Navy, submarines). He guessed that I was by the way I rolled my sleeves! As wide as the cuff, and falling just below the elbow, as described in one of the first paragraphs here. That’s the way I learned it in boot camp, and so if it’s good enough for the USN, it’s good enough for me.

I had never really realized that I was doing it Navy-style until he pointed out out.

My husband doesn’t understand that rolling his sleeves up way past his elbow when he gets hot in church is a little overkill. And it’s not even a neat roll. It’s all bunched. Looks ridiculous. *Sigh* men… But now I can give him some informed pointers. He will appreciate it once he realizes how sexy I find the casual forearm roll to be. ahaha ;)

Great piece – how about rolling the sleeves up when wearing an long-sleeve/sweater over a collar?
