What kind of detail is the 'bijo' mentioned in the product descriptions?

Many readers encounter the word bijo in descriptions of sleeves or hems, but its dictionary meaning does not immediately come to mind. Knowing what shape it is and what function it serves helps visualize how it looks when worn.

hmmm editorial answer

A bijo is a narrow adjustment tab attached to sleeves or hems that pairs with buttons to shape the sleeve silhouette.

Sleeve ends, and hems. In LOW CLASSIC product descriptions, the word bijo mainly appears in these two places[1][2].

Bijo is used to refer to a narrow, strap-like adjustment piece attached to clothing. It is close to imagining a short strap attached to the outside of a shirt sleeve, or a small belt that cinches the cuff of a coat sleeve. Since a strap alone cannot fasten, it usually pairs with a closure hardware such as a button or snap, and the circumference changes depending on which hole it is fastened to. The explanation that a sleeve can be styled with different sleeve silhouettes because it has both a bijo and buttons refers precisely to this structure[3].

When placed at the hem, the principle is no different. However, regarding the hem bijo, it is only confirmed that the detail exists, and which closure hardware it is used with must be checked separately for each product[4].

hmmm, the places where a bijo is attached are all points where a garment ends. Since sleeve ends and hems are where the width of a garment is finalized, placing an adjustment feature here makes quite a difference in impression depending on whether it is cinched or left loose, even when wearing the same clothing.

For rows marked with ◦, flat measurement or circumference could not be confirmed in official sources, so hmmm determined them using figures from the same item.
