Short answer
Cuff openings sized to the hand that must pass through, buttons sized to match.
Why it happens
Hand or wrist girth beyond the cuff opening.
Why ready-to-wear cannot fix it
Size charts grade uniformly; large wrists / hands is a personal geometry. A block adjusted in one place pulls in another — which is why the correction must exist in the pattern, not in the fitting-room mirror.
How the house drafts for it
Cuff openings sized to the hand that must pass through, buttons sized to match. The correction is recorded in your Fit Passport, so every later commission starts from it automatically.
Where it matters most
This correction carries most for: shirt. It is reviewed at every fitting, in every city, for every garment.
