How to Roll Up Your Sleeves | The Art of Manliness

[@Profl13]

Nice little benefit on the Italian roll; if the inside of the cuff is a different colour to the shirt, you can leave a line of the inside showing above the roll. Just adds a nice little detail and works to add variation

[@artofmanliness]

Luke Perkins Good call.

[@Profl13]

Thanks!

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

Only reason I started rolling up my shirt sleeves... Because every girl I know tells me it's sexy.

[@earlgrey6375]

I do it to show off my ink and freak my boss out.

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

Earl Grey Nice, bro. Do you have a sleeve or is it just a couple tats?

[@tayloryoung1788]

Yes, apparently they like that and it makes it look like you have a bigger bicep

[@kirstenn1577]

+Harold Davidson Yessss. Thissss. When guys do this, I forget where I am for a moment and stare haha.

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

Kirsten Noe Haha. I know. It works on my wife everytime. Sometimes I do it around coworkers just because I'm a big tease. :)

[@CooperCarr]

Who needs a Dad when you have youtube...

[@ItsGeo24]

Not gonna lie thats kinda sad

[@sweatshopkids]

+Geovanii Velela Why would you lie anyway? I never understood that phrase.

[@mreaume8384]

How to Roll Up Your Sleeves [VIDEO]

[@SpencerPetersen]

Very timely on a warm, humid Sunday!

[@herbertwilliam3348]

I've always made such a mass on my sleeves, i feel grateful, thanks for helping me to be a better man. Keep doing your good job. (I'm from Brazil so perdon me for the low leveled english). Thanks agains, and for all the crew: Stay Manly!

[@swaggarican315]

The master roll is a great fold because of how clean cut it is and how professional it is when its done right. Used by the United States Marine Corps.

[@astutusmortuus]

These should be mandatory educational videos. Money has nothing on the worth of these videos. Bravo.

[@RyanPaulWarren]

depends on the size of your arms to shirt ratio but sometimes you can roll up your sleeves and button it in reverse whilst rolled up for a tidy sturdy roll, I work in a body shop so these comes in handy for mixing paint etc. i'm not worried it'll fall down and ruin the sleeves

[@martinwagner7619]

The past few days I've been struggling with rolling up sleves and I was just about to search some information about this then I saw your video. Thanks it helped a lot!

[@smazeleu6421]

Watching this is so manly i started growing hairchest instantly

[@keelanr.3412]

Hairchest lol

[@yammmit]

smaz eleu Uh, chest hair?

[@vincegredo]

I've always just did the master roll, it's my favorite because it can go high up your arm without the shirt getting super tight around your arm

[@Marblez3]

That mustache is so fucking badass.

[@ladybug_lucy]

+Art of Manliness Thank you so much! I usually just do a basic roll, but I think I'll start using the matter roll more often now.

[@dimitris470]

The master roll is also the one to use with shirts that have a second color on the inside of the cuff. You just let about an inch of the bottom fold to show and it looks very nice.

[@InFocusMIAKr3w]

Something about you makes me trust you with my children, I just cant but my finger on Hwhat it is tho.

[@QuadraticBajeena]

Hank Hill His mustache?

[@artofmanliness]

Hank Hill Well, I did sell propane and propane accessories back in the day, I tell ya whut.

[@marcosduran4169]

Hank Hill Why Dad?

[@redpanda2199]

It’s because the daddynes is eeeebbing off of him

[@ApexPredatorWithSungGlasses]

Oh thanks, that's some help AoM, will try that "master roll" so as to make the shirt more secured. I'm folding my sleeves similar to the master one, except it's a single fold only and it reaches up to the upper arm. It also leaves little wrinkles, but it does tend to not hold itself either. Good for lunches and coffee break tho, easy to pull up and roll down. :)

[@subjectt.change6599]

There is also the inverse forearm or "Hitchens" roll. It's the same as the casual roll, except you roll inside the sleeve instead of outside the sleeve. It's a very secure roll, and has a very clean appearance.

[@z0r080]

[@mattyjee]

Pro tip for guys with big arms - I learned to roll up the sleeves before I put the shirt on.

[@seasonings2taste115]

Matt Greff thanks. I’m going country dancing Friday and I have good sized arms.

[@Motoruven]

The Master Roll is genius in it's simplicity. whenever I roll up my sleeves nowadays, I always go for that one. Functionality combined with style. What more can you ask for?

[@axiomist1076]

Duuuhhh, golly gee ! That was so educative. I never had anybody to show me how to roll up my sleeves. Maybe you could do a video on how to take a leak. I have trouble with getting my hot dog through the zipper w/o pinching it.

[@westphillyscotty]

Great video as always! I've always wanted to know the correct way to do this :)

[@СергейБазанов-ь8ц]

you forgot the Rick Roll

[@argoyle6195]

This comment could be from literally any year since 2011

[@theodoreroosevelt7471]

Oh that’s exactly how I do it since I’ve a shirt at an Italian shop in Paris, the saleswoman taught me how to do it

[@Roy_Godiksen]

I generally like to roll my sleeves. But it usually makes the arms on the shirts very tight. If i get bigger shirts, i get floppy shirts that looks three sizes too large. Any suggestions? Very helpful video. These are the kind of videos i really appreciate.

[@peterpwn9558]

ZeaMoore4 I have the same problem. I don't have huge arms but I can't roll my sleeves higher than below my elbow and even then my arms look like dicks because of the forearm veins that start to pop out. So I usually just fold the cuff inside out and pull it back a bit (gauntlet buttoned) and adjust it every now and then. If that's not your thing, the master roll where you just roll it once(so it's a bit looser) has worked for me too.

[@NickReichert]

I thought I was the only one... Was wondering if any of the techniques was better than others in this regard. Also figuring I didn't want to get a bigger sleeves just for this "feature"

[@shaner3431]

ever since i was a kid i've always only ever done the master roll never new it was a master roll i found it easy and i figured it out on my own.

[@CubNole]

whoops, ripped my sleeves off.

[@artofmanliness]

CubNole That's one way of doing it.

[@calvinmaynardtmt]

+CubNole or to "Git 'r done!!" as the case may be.

[@ekeclout3941]

I didn't know how much I needed to know this until now.

[@rayhollowell113]

Thanks Brah, saved the night. Avoided devastation!

[@Johkah]

I'm trying to stop wearing blue jeans and t shirts so much and start wearing cargo pants and button down shirts to not only look good but still be able to work and such while doing so. Your channel has lots of things that are going to really help me, like this video so thanks

[@Broxty]

Bryan Estep Cargo pants and button down shirts... hah. Wear running shoes too, bud?

[@diresword5046]

Bryan Estep I'm glad you said this.

[@NikkiCox81]

Great video! My husband has his sleeves rolled up by the end of the day. IT work is hardcore. ;) Have you ever thought about doing a video on eyebrow trimming for men? He has started getting some really long hairs and the last thing I want is for his eyebrows to be on fleek like a girl and that's only way I am familiar with. Thanks!

[@californiapaki]

Nikki Cox You single? :)

[@artofmanliness]

Nikki Cox I don't think I'll ever cover that. You might check out I Am Alpha M. I bet he's done something like that. That guy has videos on just about everything.

[@ParabolaTool]

Nikki Cox I tried trimming eyebrows in the past and honestly they look 100% more stupid when you try to mess with them. Let the shit grow as it does and it'll probably look better. If there's a couple of crazy hairs just pluck em or trim the one or two culprits with a scissor so they're flush with the others.

[@californiapaki]

@carrnil You're all fired up like she's your daughter. Calm the fuck down sailor and try to take things easy.

[@NikkiCox81]

Art of Manliness Thanks I will check it out!

[@CyborgForgael]

I like the Italian roll. It looks neat, and it's very easy to undo. Just a pull on the cuff and it easily comes undone.

[@shahriarrayhan2222]

I love the master roll, it's clean and effective and really useful to show off the gym gains.

[@colanis90]

Never knew what it was called, but I use the "Master Roll" at work every day. Solid, clean look.

[@703amthegreatest]

This is a good one! I always try to have a perfect roll and I think the master roll would cut it for me

[@NickWright]

Is that mustache real?

[@sweatshopkids]

+Nick Wright As real as his pubestache.

[@jeffreyd508]

+Nick Wright More importantly, can we take his advice seriously after that Magnum P.I. stache?

[@Marblez3]

+Jeffrey D With a mustache like that we HAVE to take his advice seriously.

[@ivanttosuckyourblood]

as real as that lego hair

[@Isaactan90]

Thank you. I always have trouble with the sleeves coming down. I'll try the master roll next time!

[@KaidaMizu]

I've just started experimenting with cross dressing and all men's sleeves are too log for my lil t-rex arms this is a great way for my to easily hide the long sleeves and still look sharp. Thanks!

[@Hagon94]

Just bought a few button shirts and I found this very helpful. Thanks!

[@dynamiclumbersolutions]

La Paz, Bolivia has an average annual temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it has never recorded a zero-degree temperature. Same for Stanley, the Falkland Islands, and Punta Arenas, Chile.

[@kpaenen]

I never hide my cuff completely with the master roll when I'm wearing shirts with a different cuff colour, I like to keep the contrast (e.g. red cuff on a white shirt)

[@richardaversa7128]

Hmm. I never unbutton the gauntlet. Also I always spent time smoothing out the button area after the roll to give a uniform band all the way around rather than the crinkled mass at the back of the elbow. I have little knowledge of this so maybe I have been doing more work than necessary.

[@Led....]

This was in my recommended im assuming cause ive seen a military one... and that being said, a song is now stuck in my head It goes like C-130 ROLLING DOWN THE STRIP! 64 RANGERS ON A ONE WAY TRIP! MISSION TOP SECRET DESTINATION UNKNOWN! AND THEY DONT EVEN KNOW IF THEY'RE COMING HOME!

[@EricCris10sen]

No one cares.

[@Broxty]

RGBIFY That was pretty gay.

I don't suppose you could do an extended edition where you get all fancy and show the proper way to roll up a dress shirt sleeve with a arm garter?

[@Mayankbhattacharya]

In the Marines we have to roll them a certain way with like a fold so they look tight when they're choking the day lights out of our arms...looks good though if done correctly.

How did u discover this ??? i guess u live near by Oxford university cool idea i love it keep on Sir

How to roll up my sleeves. Now there's something I didn't know.

Shirt is too baggy Brett. But solid video. I’m going country dancing Friday and I’ve been lifting heavy and often lately. My arms look huge in the right shirt.

[@esquire925]

I'm more interested of those big keys in the background

[@jrstar805]

Thank you for this, I've been doing it a lot at work lately and my shirts end up looking like shit....Thanks again for all the videos and your blog.

[@DannoCrutch]

There is also one where you turn the wrist into the shirt.

[@visionplant]

Useful stuff.

I've been trying to get that forearm roll forever thanks

[@jdm2626]

That stache is so good

[@behindtheblackstump2247]

You forgot to mention rolling them up with the roll on the inside so when you are welding no splatter gets caught in the roll and burns your arm instead just bounces off.

[@blitzburner4122]

I have to say, the master roll was the best roll out of the three. But I still going to have to troll you for that mustache.

[@clamum]

I always roll with the Basic (no pun intended). I MUST TRY THIS LEGENDARY MASTER/ITALIAN ROLL

[@OhCrapItsJimmy]

About to go on a date, just used this. THANK YOU!

[@sonicquake00ad26]

Please could you do a video on how to refuse an overly pushy person, politely and sternly - for when you go out to a pub for instance and this person keep badgering you to guzzle down alcohol and you want to be a responsible adult and drive home safely or when a fellow staff member has a birthday and you politely refuse eating any snacks and someone gets pushy and loads up a plate for you (embarrassing)?

[@Brickblox]

Hey Brett, do short sleeved dress shirts look juvenile or goofy when worn with shorts and chucks? I just wanted to know because I had bought about six or seven shirts of that style.

[@bonitaliu1030]

im a girl and i wear a lot of button down flannels. this was life-changing. praise the lord.

[@brienmorton]

what's the thought on just turning the cuffs back and not rolling them

[@DJ.AlexRivera]

Yo Magnum P.I, you think you could just cut straight to the chase? We know why we want to roll up our sleeves, just f'ing tell us how.

[@metabeard3788]

One of my company's regional directors from the midwest came to my office a little while ago and I noticed he folded his sleeves inside, instead of out. I've never seen that before. Is there a point to that, or is he just a little odd? haha

[@wyattj.sullivant3494]

It's a shame that he doesn't have as many followers.

[@wcgold2]

The second option works good for me.

[@bartonez123]

The bit I always have a problem with is that when I roll up my sleeve it always ends up way too tight on my bicep. Is there any roll that can keep it loose enough that I can bend my arm without ripping the shirt?

[@JaymieSword]

As a woman who only wears masculine clothing and was royally pissed that I couldn't get it to look right, thank you

[@JugalSingh]

I don't know about that......

Sometimes, I feel I can't get a good roll unless I take of the shirt and use both hands.

[@fullmetalpixel]

What about the Dempsey roll?

[@412tt]

hey, how high should sleeve typically be? coz i see some people do it up to the mid point of your wrist or the top?

What about shirt with tabs? You know the button halfway up

[@aanisnoor229]

A man gave three rational reasons to roll up their sleeves. A boy would think it's just to impress some girls out there.

Master roll is the only way to go once you've learned it.

[@earlyonion]

Cool. I unknowingly do the master roll. :D

[@salvadordarmata175]

what kind of shirt is that one? Where can I buy one?

[@Napoleon4778]

I couldn't find any difference between the basic roll and the casual roll.

[@juancarl814]

casual roll gives you shirt less wrinkles and good for skinny arms

[@juancarl814]

colomblanco thank you blanco

[@cristian0523]

Aparently basic goes all the way up above the elbow. Casual is just one roll and is left mid-forearm

[@realfooman]

I had a Sicilian CEO who taught me how to roll your sleeves two times the size of the cuff in a reverse roll or inside roll and on a dress shirt nothing looks cooler. Fooman
