Ahh I see Angie, thanks for the link. I suspect the sleeves on my navy&nbsp;jacket aren't quite slim enough and I also have slim forearms. I'll have a little experiment. I wonder if a hidden safety pin somewhere might help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046843 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:21:06 +0000 Diana 1046843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - I do roll my denim jacket sleeves up the way Angie does, with the cuff flipped back over, but I roll them higher to make up for the lack of scrunch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046839 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:14:34 +0000 Mia 1046839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have skinny forearms and sometimes if I fold the bottom of the sleeve a couple of times and then scrunch it up my arm it stays. &nbsp;It may wrinkle your jacket but I guess that's the price of fashion. &nbsp;A shirt underneath with "sticky" fabric can help too. &nbsp;Skinny forearms of the world unite &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046835 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:09:19 +0000 Diana 1046835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally can't do it.&nbsp; I think it has to do with the size/shape of your arms in proportion to your relative body size.&nbsp; My forearms are quite thin, much thinner than the rest of my frame would suggest.&nbsp; Angie has said that most of my sleeves are just too loose to scrunch.&nbsp; I find it very hard, maybe impossible, to find a jacket with slim enough forearms that will also fit the rest of my body. (Even my unlined knit blazer won't stay scrunched.)&nbsp; </p> <p>Rubber bands or hair ties inside the cuff <i>will</i> keep them up, but it's painful after a while.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046834 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:08:05 +0000 Angie 1046834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here you go, Diane:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/23/sleeves-that-stay-scrunched/">http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/.....scrunched/</a></p> <p>It's all in the tapered fit of the sleeve. Sleeves that aren't sleek on the forearm, do not scrunch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046829 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:57:29 +0000 rachylou 1046829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, Angie posted not so long ago a sewing trick... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scrunching-jacket-sleeves-how#post-1046811 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:26:44 +0000 Anonymous 1046811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm curious. How do you scrunch the sleeves on a jacket or blazer and get them to stay put? </p>
