Thank you; much appreciated!

Excellent tutorial -- clear instructions, incredible close-ups! Beautiful examples, too. Thank you!

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Thank you so much for a supportive comment. It inspires to make more shirtmaking content.

[@sterling4271]

Beautiful job. I admire the precision of your stitching! I am curious about the fastening of the cuff once you are finished. Button holes on both sides, (like a french cuff) or standard button on one side and button hole on the other?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Thank you! It`s gonna be a regular buttonhole + button kind of fastening. You are totally right: this type of placket is great for a french cuff, because it has no overlapping like a regular one and it just rolls nicely to the sides, when French cuff is fastened. So, yeah, this type is great for cufflinked cuffs.

Can you pls show us next how you sew the collar and cuffs and what you use for the floating interlining. thx

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Hi, I am now working on these videos, they are a part of big course, like a series of lessons. It is hard to put everything in a single tutorial.

How does the cuff button when attached to the Neapolitan sleeve placket? Seems the placket will have to cross over itself...

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

Yes, you are right, it has to cross over itself. But, for example if you use it for French cuffs, than both sides will evenly bend and roll and in my opninon it looks better than a classical placket. This type of placket usually doesn`t have a button in a classical way, but if you want one, you can add a loop buttonhole inside the seam. Here is the example by japanese tailors how it can be done: instagram.com/p/C-WW-3th2O0/?igsh=dXBjcTRrc3Y2dzBk I personally don`t like this way and never add a loop buttonhole, I prefer a cleaner finish.

[@kasaliademola2883]

Can it be used for cufflinks too?

[@BESPOKEEDUCATOR]

It is especially great for cufflinks. 👌
