I was fixing my ripped jeans when I found some snaps in the sewing basket. Why didn't I think of this before?

Thanks Andrew! You should offer it as a service at the shop. 5 bucks for the first leg, and a buck a leg after that. Ten legs maximum per visit.

No thanks.
The leather shop next door sets them quickly and cheaply.

Good idea and neatly done. However, there is some prior art of sorts:

For me, maybe sew two button hole slots in the cuff area, and
repurpose the numerous cuff links that are rotting away in my dresser
drawer. Rather pricey, but made for cyclists:

Or, just perforate the cuff with eyelets. Thread a rope through the
eyelets and make a drawstring.

Then you have to do something about the dangling drawstring after you've snugged the cuffs with it.
