I have a pair of antique down puffs like the ones shown in the Kyoto book.
They each have three ties about 8" long that are mated with matching ones in
the sleeve head. they work wonderfully well.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Regency sleeve puffsI recall the photo from memory but
don't have time to dig it out. The
original mid and late 1820s sources I used for _The Lady's Stratagem_
describe supporting large sleeves with buckram or in one case, stiffened
gauze.
