cuffed sleeve

Rolled fabric edge

A cuffed sleeve is a sleeve finished with a cuff—a band of fabric at the wrist that may be folded back, buttoned, or otherwise styled.

Cuffs appear on dress shirts, jackets, and jeans alike.

The cuff can be functional (allowing adjustment) or purely decorative: a blouse with cuffed sleeves, he rolled up his cuffed sleeves.
