Cuff knits are somewhat more relaxed after a weekend of riding & partying (a bit stretched). A solution to this is the insertion of fine elastic thread, invisible but means the cuffs 'snap' back to shape after heavy use. Local Seamstress has applied this method successfully for me in the past & I'll ask her to sort out the L2B. The cuffs on my nomex jackets (I note) appear to have more elasticity.
