US Wings does a nice job, but they're not in Florida!

Someone posted a tutorial on the this board years back showing how to replace cuffs. It is step by step with pictures. A search would probably turn it up, and you could then copy and take to a seamstress. Not that hard of a job for someone who knows her way around a sewing machine. Or, alternatively, send it to to US Wings, or similar company. But then you will have an additional $40 in shipping costs, roundtrip.

OK, here you go. With it being early on Saturday morning, and not many creatures stirring yet, I took a go at it myself. Our own Fishmeok did the honors back in 2009:
