How to Use L.L.Bean Grow-Cuffs

It’s easy to extend the wear of our snowsuits and bibs for little kids! We’ll show you how to use our helpful Grow Cuffs feature below.

2 Min. Watch | How-To Guides

Many of our product developers are parents too, so they know that kids grow FAST! That’s why we added hidden “grow cuffs” to our Cold Buster snow bibs and snowsuits for infants and toddlers. These innovative cuffs can easily be lengthened to accommodate sudden growth spurts—so when little ones grow, their outerwear can “grow” too. And when kids can wear snow bibs longer, parents can replace them less, making them an even better value than before.

How Do I Extend the Grow Cuffs?

Cold Buster snow bibs and snowsuits are designed with an extra one-and-a-half inches of fabric hidden in the sleeves and pant legs – just pull away seams to expand the cuffs. Here’s how:

1. Start by turning the garment inside out.

2. Then, carefully cut the red thread using small scissors or a seam ripper, taking care not to cut the surrounding material.

3. Finally, pull the white thread to let out the hem.
