How to say "cuff" in Japanese

• 袖口そでぐち
  nounThe opening at the end of a sleeve — the cuff of a shirt or coat. A less common word, but the natural choice when 'cuff' means this part of a garment.
• 裳裾もすそ
  nounChiefly the hem of a skirt, the train of a dress, or the foot of a mountain; its 'cuff (of pants)' sense is marginal, so it is seldom the word you want for cuffs.
• 折り返しおりかえしCommon
  nounThe common word for a folded-back part: a trouser turn-up, a folded-back sleeve cuff, a lapel or flap. For most senses of 'cuff' this is the word to reach for.

Use 「折り返し」 for a folded-back cuff or trouser turn-up, 袖口 for the cuff at the end of a sleeve, and 裳裾 mainly for hems and trains — it is only marginally a word for 'cuff'.
