As in: "angesetzte Manschetten".
This is from a workwear catalogue, and the article in question is a shirt. The full text is:
"Zwei aufgesetzte Brusttaschen mit Patten; angesetzte Manschetten, Ecken abgeschrägt, mit Knopf zu schließen, Kragen, Manschetten und Patten mit Bügeleinlage".
Can anyone help? I'm desperately awaiting the arrival of a textiles dictionary, but until Royal Mail pulls its finger out, I'm stymied.
Thanks, team! R.

top-stitched cuffs
I seem to remember this from my sewing classes at school. Top-stitched cuffs are added to the sleeves and sewn "on top" (or the bottom really!).

fitted cuffs
Let me stress that this is an "off the cuff" (harhar) idea (thus the low confidence level) - but I did used "fitted" for "angesetzt" in an entirely different context a few days ago and it sounds reasonable here too. Fitted cuffs also get 168 Google hits.
