Is your sleeve-rolling technique unstoppable? plz share, ok thx.[More:]
I'm terrible at rolling up a long sleeve shirt with any kind of respectable method. How can I roll up my sleeves and have the inner cuff be visible (it's a different print)? How far should I roll them up?
Unbutton sleeves.

Wait. Look what I found! This is exactly what I was going to say.

Oh, and you should roll up a couple/few times, then push them up so they are just in front of the crease of your elbow.

if you have really slender wrists/arms, it helps to re-button the cuff after you've rolled it, if you're only rolling it back one "turn" to expose the contrasting print. the re-button step keeps it neatly folded in place.

I have to do this with the men's shirts I wear.

What I'm playing around with right now is to fold the forearm sleeve so that the cuff is at the elbow and then tucking the non-cuff sleeve under the cuff. It's not as clean as the repeating fold in your link Specklet, but the repeating fold also buries the fancy inner cuff print.

It's certainly not unstoppable, but it feels close.

Secure the rolled sleeve with a safety pin, if necessary.
Next question: how do I get blood out of my shirts?
