Claim:
1. A method for manufacturing a sleeve assembly for a garment, comprising: connecting a cuff having an inner surface and an outer surface and an upper edge and a lower edge to a lower edge region of a sleeve at a location on said outer surface of the cuff between the upper and lower edges of the cuff to thereby define a cuff extension portion between the location at which the cuff is connected to the lower edge region of the sleeve and the upper edge of the cuff, said cuff extension portion being alongside but not affixed to an inner side of the sleeve assembly when the sleeve assembly is in an unfolded condition, the sleeve assembly being foldable to a first folded condition about the location at which the outer surface of the cuff is connected to the lower edge region; and selecting dimensions of the cuff extension portion such that when the sleeve assembly is folded from the first folded condition to a second folded condition about a location at which the lower edge of the cuff abuts the sleeve, a first portion of an inner surface of the sleeve is placed on an outer side of the sleeve assembly and an outer surface of the cuff at the cuff extension portion is placed between the first portion of the inner surface of the sleeve on the outer side of the sleeve assembly and a portion of an outer surface of the sleeve.
