Reasons to roll shirt sleeves.

First off, rolled sleeves are a versatile way of changing the mood quickly of your outfit.

One roll can signal the work day is over and the real adventure has just begun. Or one roll can mean you're not staying long, or you're suiting up soon and don't want to go full roll.

Two rolls is the classic.

Your cuff is now hidden by the sleeve fabric and the tighter roll starts to happen. Two rolls should be most men's standard when unsuited. And as we are proponents of losing the formality of the jacket whenever possible - we recommend this exposed forearms stance to be your uniform. Two rolls means life is an adventure to you and you are ready to bear hug it with both arms. Two rolls means you are unafraid of getting dirty and hope the situation gets a little messy.

Three rolls is true "gettin' er done" territory.

You are not rolling three times to back down from whatever your bold life throws your way. Three rolls can help keep your shirt clean when the day gets deep.  

The anatomy of a great sleeve roll: the rolled fabric should be cleanly rolled back on itself twice or thrice, the bulk of the roll should rest easily over the widest part of your forearm accentuating the muscle shape. 

Of course, your main objective is to look in full bad ass control of your life and a Batch shirt with rolled sleeves will assist your adventurous endeavors always. Here are some other reasons to keep your sleeves rolled:

Delivering random babies, it gets messy. Strong hand shakes, let them see your cut like Arnold. Driving, don't let that cuff slow you down. If you have a kick ass watch you need to highlight that precision technology. Throwing back a few rolls will give the time piece space to say "pow, yes I can harness life's greatest currency."

Women dig wrists.

10 out of 10 women decidedly preferred men with wrists over those who don't have them. A very little known fact in the male population is the way ladies feel about a powerful forearm. An exposed forearm is the icing on a crisp shirt, like man cleavage with less european flair. 

Life without rolled sleeves is a life too precious. Dig in.

I quite like the shirt, but expensive shipping + duty to Canada unfortunately means I won't be ordering another.

Product is amazing, only thing I would change is to make the shirt slightly thicker to show a better fit for most men. But nailed everything about a shirt someone could ask for. Will be buying more!

I went with a Med/Large, and it is very fitted, which is what I wanted. I am 5'9", 195, lifter, and have room for movement. The large would have probably been too roomy and long, and I wanted a more tailored look.

Well constructed yet super soft and comfortable, this is a really great shirt. I am 5'9" and about 150 lbs, and I typically get slim fit shirts in small or medium from other retailers, and I ordered a medium in this shirt and it fit me well. Very satisfied with this purchase, and will order more...Well constructed yet super soft and comfortable, this is a really great shirt.

The customer service was top notch. The shirts fit well and the material is high quality. The packaging was a nice touch. Shirts are a tad large on the midsection. I may need to tailor that. I am a muscular build.

I’m really happy with the Primer Utility Shirt in Stone Blue. The fit is perfect, and I love the color. Unlike other shirts I’ve had, this one doesn’t wrinkle easily, which is a big plus. The fabric has a nice stretch to it. Highly recommend!

Favorite is the fit and button pockets/masculine yet refined look. I wish the Primer (best style) came in more colors for both long and short sleeve.

Button holes in the sleeves run big- the buttons keep coming undone when the sleeve is cuffed. Also, I wish the shirts ran just a bit longer; I have a bit of a gut, and they’re just short enough where they don’t stay tucked all that well.

Overall this is a high-quality shirt. One thing I'd like to see batch update is to put some interfacing in the collar and front placket to help them keep their shape.

Favorite thing is it comes in tall now which is great. Although the material is still great I think it may not be as good as it once was. Overall an amazing shirt and will keep buying from Batch!

I absolutely love the weight and feel of the fabric. The style is awesome too. I have 5 batch shirts, and this is by far my favorite. I would love it if all of them felt just like this one.

I love the fit for an untucked casual look. The one thing I would improve is to put a little hole in the pocket flap to slide in a pair of sunglasses (or reading glasses for old guys like me). This is my second Batch shirt. I love them.
