Also traditionally, men who weren't surgeons didn't have them on their suits because they were seen as garish, it is only recently that men have wanted to show off the amount they paid for a suit that they have come en vogue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-81396529431562198972009-08-12T13:47:08.013-04:002009-08-12T13:47:08.013-04:00I believe the origin is actually from surgeons rol...I believe the origin is actually from surgeons rolling up their sleeves to work - hence the name "surgeon's cuffs."Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596635409737399172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-64688351300432669322009-08-11T13:56:28.267-04:002009-08-11T13:56:28.267-04:00just saw your pf on the esquire contest. love you&...just saw your pf on the esquire contest. love you're style- def. wish I could pull it offTimbukTieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812519248803156857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-31744998078928787772009-08-10T22:31:41.138-04:002009-08-10T22:31:41.138-04:00I found out today that they originally did this so...I found out today that they originally did this so men could wash their hands without taking their jacket off- pretty cool, nice post SB (this is your j-stu comrade)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-72042840630949237732009-08-10T22:24:11.800-04:002009-08-10T22:24:11.800-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382458683076851430noreply@blogger.com
