# Bloomingdale's Sleeves & Cuffs (Women's Blazers, Women's Coats, Women's Jackets and 4 more) Field Guide

> Sleeveless, short sleeves, dolman, etc. For recessed cuffs, indicate if rib-knit with thumbholes, etc. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Sleeves & Cuffs** is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's outerwear department. It describes the sleeve length and type of a coat or jacket and, for outerwear in particular, how the cuff is finished: recessed rib-knit, thumbholes, zip or snap cuffs. Bloomingdale's prints the value as a feature bullet on the product page, where a shopper checks whether a parka's cuffs will seal out wind before they buy.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares attribute definitions with Macy's. The field exists across women's apparel; this page covers the women's outerwear version, where the cuff detail is the part Bloomingdale's calls out in its definition.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No |
| Level | Parent listing, one value shared by every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Sleeve | Length and type: long, short, three-quarter, elbow, cap, sleeveless, dolman, raglan, puff, bell |
| Cuff | Recessed rib-knit, thumbholes, zip cuffs, snap cuffs, adjustable tab, turn-back |

Bloomingdale's definition asks that recessed cuffs be described specifically, including whether the inner rib-knit has thumbholes. Give the sleeve first, then the cuff. A vest is "Sleeveless"; a cape is "Sleeveless with arm openings". Because the bullet is shared by the whole style group, never describe one colorway or size.

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Long sleeves | Good | Length named |
| Long sleeves with rib-knit thumbhole cuffs | Good | Sleeve plus the recessed cuff detail |
| Three-quarter bell sleeves | Good | Length and type |
| Raglan sleeves with zip cuffs | Good | Construction and cuff closure |
| Sleeveless | Good | Correct for a vest |
| Sleeves | Weak | No length, type or cuff |
| Cuffs that keep the cold out. | Weak | Sentence with a period, no construction |
| Longer sleeves on the tall sizes | Weak | Describes one size |

## Common mistakes

- Writing "long sleeve" as the whole value on a technical jacket whose cuff is the selling point. Add the cuff.
- Calling a rib-knit inner cuff a "storm cuff" without saying it is rib-knit or has thumbholes. Bloomingdale's asks for the construction.
- Putting the shoulder detail here. Epaulets go in [Epaulets](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb5-womens-outerwear).
- Describing the hem cuff. A cuffed hem goes in [Hem & Vents](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb11-womens-outerwear).

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Sleeves & Cuffs as an optional parent-level text field on women's outerwear listings, so one phrase covers every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then the product attributes, then the images, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. It names the sleeve length and type and adds the cuff construction when the source states or shows it. Set house terms with [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions), and see the department's other attributes in the [Bloomingdale's field directory](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Sleeves & Cuffs required on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's outerwear department, though nearly every coat can fill it from the images alone.

### How do I describe a recessed rib-knit cuff?

Name the sleeve and then the cuff: "Long sleeves with recessed rib-knit cuffs". Add "thumbhole" when the knit has them, since Bloomingdale's definition asks for it.

### Do I fill this field for a vest?

Yes. Write "Sleeveless". It tells the shopper the piece has no sleeves without making them read the title twice.

### Can one phrase carry both the sleeve and the cuff?

Yes. That is the intended use: sleeve first, cuff second, under 254 characters and without a trailing period.
