Brett McKay is the co-founder of The Art of Manliness and author of The Illustrated Art of Manliness. Here he demonstrates how to properly roll up your sleeves. The following is a transcript of the video.
My favorite shirtsleeve roll is called the master roll or the Italian roll.
Usually most people the way they roll their shirtsleeves up they'll roll the cuff and just keep rolling and rolling.
The problem with that is that the cuff roll gets really thick and so gets really tight. I just don't think it looks that great.
The master roll is nice cause it gives you a nice clean cuff and it doesn't really bunch up. What you do instead of rolling the cuff up you actually unbutton your cuffs and you bring the cuff up just below your elbow.
And then after that, you take that fold and then you roll it above the cuff. And what's nice about that it's nice and clean it's not thick it's not going to cut off circulation to your arms and it just looks really great.
