armförslutning

Armförslutning is a Swedish term that translates to "arm closure" or "arm fastening." It is a general term used to describe a method of securing or closing the opening of a garment around the arm. This can encompass a wide range of mechanisms, from simple sewn seams to more complex closures.

Common examples of armförslutning include elastic bands sewn into the hem of a sleeve, cuffs that can be buttoned or snapped, drawstrings that cinch the opening, or zippers that run up the sleeve. The specific type of armförslutning used depends on the garment's design, intended function, and aesthetic. For instance, athletic wear might feature elastic for a snug fit, while formal wear might use buttons for a more decorative and adjustable closure.

The purpose of armförslutning is primarily to control the fit of the sleeve, preventing it from hanging loosely, providing warmth by sealing out drafts, or allowing for adjustment based on individual preference. It also plays a role in the overall drape and appearance of the garment. In some specialized garments, like certain types of protective gear, armförslutning might also be designed for security and to prevent unwanted exposure or entry.
