I had thought to whip stitch the cuffs onto the sleeve, then remove at wash time & replace for the next wearing. Himself would certainly have less pins to complain about and I wouldnt have to look at dirty cuffs. No research results here, just practical matters. I'm looking forward to Nicole's pinned cuff picture, tho'. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
