Oh, won't we? :) To your point, though, we do hope to move to a more frequent publishing schedule sometime in the not-too-distant future. Stay tuned! - Preston
My grandfather was an executive at a large electrical engineering firm and always wore French cuffs/links with his business attire. When he died I was given his cuff link collection (72 pairs) and have recently started wearing same with French cuffed shirts. Thank you for another informative video.
You beat me to it. I've been wearing cuff links all my life ( I think I got my first pair when I was 5). But I've never worn them in the barrel cuff style. Just tried it for the very first time.
How could I not come with this idea? Hats off Preston! Now I have the option of wearing my own Tyrwitts, barrel cuff style with those slim suits that are too narrow on the sleeves to wear them French style.
That’s the only way I’ve ever worn them. I’ve always favored a slightly slimmer cut suit that doesn’t play nice with the traditional french cuff style. So all my cuff links favor that barrel style.
1. Are the cuffs for cuff links different from normal buttoned cuffs? 2. If I want to wear cuff links (and obviously have them visible) should the coat/tuxedo/blazer sleeves be shorter? That would mean coat/tixedo/blazer sleeve length is different from normal?
Preston, you are TOTALLY owning this episode! In the first video you were a bit “fish out of water”. Now, you’re glowing confidence and charm! Love it, and keep up the great work!
I really like your videos. No advertising, no bulshit. You are very professional and to the point. Your presentation is also very serious and short. I am saying all this because alpha m,TMF have all these problems specially there long advertising.
A delightful video! I'm a big fan of French cuffs. I feel they add that little extra pop of panache, and are often a conversation starter! Keep up the good work, Preston! You're a wonderfully proper addition to the channel.
Preston: A very good video, informative and comprehensive. And well presented in a relaxed and confident mood. Don't be put off by by rude comments posted by immature 14 year olds.
I am a working manager and I love French cuffs. Thanks for the tip about rolling the cuff for use with sweaters. I always wear with a tie and generally try to match with a tie bar. Keep doing what you guys do!
I also wear French cuffed shirts as part of an everyday look. White shirt, no tie, French cuffs, nice trousers with side adjustors and my suede Oxfords. Love it. Perfect for a casual evening.
Nearly all of my shirts are doubled cuffed- I love wearing cufflinks. It's a wonderful way of giving your outfit a bit more character. If I know I'm going to be rolling my sleeves up, though, either for fashion or function, I'll wear a button cuff. Either way, great work as usual, Gents.
An excellent tutorial. I like your suggestions regarding the more informal use of the French cuff, particularly the neat trick of converting to a barrel cuff. I will now get greater use from my French cuff shirts.
When I was a kid and I saw a video of Vladimir Horowitz playing piano I noticed he was wearing cuffs I’d never seen, or at least not noticed before. I immediately wanted my dress shirts to be like this. I also loved his huge bow ties.
I love French Cuffs, and the cufflinks at the site are just outstanding. One of the things I love about being almost 70 is can wear what I want, and I get a pass for faux pas. This is my very favorite UA-cam Channel., I like the owner's last name too.
About 80% of my shirts are French Cuff, I like the look and always have. Both my Father and Grandfather were fans of the French Cuff! Enjoyed the video.
@@shivasundars6757 Correct, but it helps - A LOT! Imagine wearing a short pants and Star Wars T-Shirt to an important business meeting. Not even Elon Musk can pull that off.
I was going to make that same comment. An excellent alternative to the traditional method when your cuffs might not have a lot of extra space. Thanks from me too.
Same here. CT offers good quality and a wide range of patterns - not just plain white like other shirt makes. I alway skip a year, because then they will offer you special coded bargains to lure you back. So last time I bought from them I paid about 25 EUR per shirt which was pretty reasonable. So I bought half a dozen - and will now wait for another year...
Ah, now I got one more thing (among other things -it's his well sculpted face) on the subject: Why Preston Looks so Intimidating. It's his French Cuffs. I am now officially a convert. Thank you, thank you Preston.
Came here after trying out a french cuffed shirt I’ve had in my wardrobe unworn for sometime now. Thanks for confirming that I can wear them in a barrel cuff as I don’t like how the kissing style sticks out and stretches my jacket’s cuff. It’s gonna go from my least to most worn shirt now.
Love the video guys! Thanks for all the information. But since you ask, I would just like to stay I generally do actually like to wear french cuffs in the traditional kissing style under sweaters. I do realize that this is a little unusual and may seem a little odd, but I think that just the format of the french cuff under the sweater gives a lot of visual interest and makes everything more elegant! Anyway, it’s definitely up to taste!
Thanks for this excellent video! I've been thinking about getting into French cuffs lately, but had been afraid to since I remembered they were only appropriate for formal wear. Glad to know the rules have changed! The explanation of the outfit at the end of the video was also a great example to get me started thinking about possible outfits.
Someone told me a long time ago that the "proper" way is the barrel-cuff style (how they were designed to be worn), with the cufflink as a fancy, interchangeable replacement button, but that people adopted the 'kissing' style because they were not taught and just saw a dress shirt and tried to figure it out. I'm babysitting tonight and they're at a formal event. When I mentioned this, about the cufflinks, the guy did a quick search, found a video of someone doing them exclusively the 'kissing' way without mention of the other and went with that. So I have spent over an hour of my Friday evening looking it up, because I think I'm right. I think they were designed to be worn barrel-style, using cufflinks as interchangeable buttons. And this is the first one I've found that even mentions it as an option! So thank you for that!
Preston, I have to say that you are getting better and better. Good job! The video was very informative as always. I personally love the double cuff shirts, and I always wear double cuff, even on casual Fridays and I might have 2-3 shirts with single cuff. Obviously the weekend and casual shirts are not included. I have about 20 pairs so I can wear different cufflink every day.
Hey Preston, great story, I am a big fan of Double French Cuffs, I wear them as Business casual and quite often get many compliments on my dress. Keeep up the great work you do. Best channel ever. Cheers ClintB 57 Australia
Great video , super informative and Preston has a very relatable manner of presenting. You can tell he's a little uneasy infront of the camera still since he almost doesn't blink, but when there's a second's pause and the dialogue breathes more of a conversation style he really pulls you in. Subscribed!!!!
When I was teaching in Thailand I would wear "French Cuff" shirts unless there was a special occasion that the school required me to attend. i was teaching special classes that suggested that I should wear shirts and ties that would show the students that they needed to dress at a level above the others as they would be in the higher positions of business and also public service.
Usually save my French cuffs for church as I don't work in an office type setting. Always with a tie sometimes without a jacket. Probably own about 20 different sets of links.
Personally, I am a sucker for a French Cuff (AKA Double Cuff) and Cufflinks. I have designer Cufflinks (well over 15 sets) and wear them 50% of time. Twenty five percent when I am wearing tradetional clothes and twenty five percent of the time when I am wearing Jeans or sports wear, I do not wear them. Thnk you for bringing this topic up. God Bless
I was checking this video to make sure that the “correct” way to employ the french cuffs was the kissing style and now I am shopping for more french cuff shirts. I need a few for daily occasions
I like the professionalism. Actually it's good to know history behind every styles. Please release more videos I am hungry to learn these type of minute details.
I will wear my french cuff shirts without a jacket in my warm and humid country. It still looks fantastic and makes me stand out because most people in my country just wear standard mass produced shirts.
I am loving my french cuff shirts. I have a casual one that I wear with a blazer. The shirt is blue patterned on English blue and the shirt came with leather "cufflinks". The shirt is a little like a Robert Graham, but not so loud. I wear it with a blue or maroon or grey slub that has blue neps in it. I have a white one for a suit, I guess for that Tom Ford look although I didn't realize he did that until this video.
Thank you so much! I inherited some double cufflinks from about 1915, and I didn't know what kind of shirt to get to wear them. Thanks for explaining it all to me.
I wear my french cuffs whenever I can especially to restaurants. I work in overalls (tyrefitter) so looking clean and smart is important to me in my free time. I've also recently gone from 0 to 4 in the bowtie front.
I have my Great Grandfather’s Art Deco “M” (McCue) cuff links that he wore when he worked for Proctor and Gamble in the 1930s/40s! I wear them on a 1930s repro spearpoint shirt with French cuffs with my vintage suits from the 1930s 😎
Having inherited a collection of vintage cuff-links from my father, and added some contemporary links of my own, I wear French cuffs most of the time I wear a tie. In fact, while I own several made to measure shirts, I don't have a single mtm shirt that does not have french cuffs. And the majority of shirts I have with button cuffs are the OCBDs I rarely wear a tie with.
I sincerely appreciate how informative this video was. Also, I've known and utilized the barrel cuff with French cuff shirts and links for years, nice to see someone discuss and share. The only thing is that your shoe game is severely lacking. So many great shoe options for men these days besides just the traditionals. You shouldn't be scared to try a 'no show' sock with brown dress shoes instead of the old fashioned knee high style you're wearing in this video.
I love french cuffs and throwing on cufflinks. I will wear them with suits and jacket and odd trousers perhaps twice a week. My best fitting, favourite shirts are french cuffs so I like to get some use out of them. I am happy I have a job that lets me wear them without being five levels of dress above everyone else. The only bit I have trouble on is using the cufflinks through them with simulating a barrel cuff. When using my off hand that is a pain to complete compared to having the sleeves kissing.
I love double cuffs, they're great in that you can dress them up or dress them down as the cuff link choice is what can determine how formal the shirt is.
There are some designers that do French cuffs for women, too. I’m really happy that I found this video because I’m currently looking for a vintage blouse with French cuffs. (I found one the other day, but it was already sold to someone else.)
My 9:54 personal opinion on F-cuffs? They're fancy. If I had any, I would wear them every time I wear my whitecoat to see patients. I had a professor who wore these. Never knew what they were called. Thanks GG
I do a variation of the single french cuff style. I take the cuff and sew a fancy button, ie. gold, leather or an artistic button to replace the normal button Then I sew a duplicate fancy button on the reverse side of the other button. When I "kiss" button the cuff together it forms the single layer french cuff with the button replacing the cufflinks. I prefer this than using cufflinks, as I find them all with a wider link to accommodate the more common double cuff. The slimness of the cuff and the use of beautiful button make the shirts a less formal and more casual sporty while giving it an eye-catching look.
I always thought of FCs as more formal. Someone on Quora recently said that does not need to be the case, just go with an informal cuff link (like silk knot) if you're pairing with a sports coat. And I just today thought about seeing if I could turn the FC into a barrel style and hook with the links that way - and... you can! Now I'm going to get a lot more use out of those shirts! I just don't like how the extra fabric feels under my jacket with the "kissing" cuff. Not sure what I think about wearing them with a cardigan. As with all things sartorial, all the components need to complement each other. Best from Indiana!
I always think French cuffs are too formal for everyday office. But one guy that used to come to our office for meetings always wore them. And the girls always noticed and said how smart he looked.
I am thinking of recycling through my regular barrel cuffs into French cuffs. I tend to be very dapper and would like to push it further by doing that.
You guys have the best channel on UA-cam. Please release videos more often. You won’t pin this comment...
Oh, won't we? :) To your point, though, we do hope to move to a more frequent publishing schedule sometime in the not-too-distant future. Stay tuned!

I love wearing French cufflinks shirts and matching the French cufflinks with lapel pins.
They make me feel very confident at formal occasions.
Well, I guess confident comes from your mind and heart and not from costumes that we wear. Just my opinion
@@shivasundars6757 Correct, but it helps - A LOT! Imagine wearing a short pants and Star Wars T-Shirt to an important business meeting. Not even Elon Musk can pull that off.
Rolling a French cuff to make it barreled is new to me. I like that option so thank you.
I was going to make that same comment. An excellent alternative to the traditional method when your cuffs might not have a lot of extra space. Thanks from me too.
Have done this for years when I want to feel a bit more relaxed

Ian Soutryer - I’ve been quite lucky finding used CT shirts - in my size (15.5 x 34.5) - on EBay for a fraction of the cost of new.

I love French cuff shirts and started wearing them as a result of watching Will on Will and Grace several years ago.

French cuff shirts is all I wear! Because I love cuff links!
Waiting for this video. I'm thinking to tailored some women's french cuff shirts for my everyday's look. Thanks
Preston, I have to say that you are getting better and better. Good job!

I love French cuffs my goal is to eventually have all my collared shirts be French cuff and wear them everyday they just feel so much better
Thank you for this video, I’m getting ready for my wedding n the shirt had French cuff but didn’t know how to fix it and you saved me 😊
Great, great tip about wearing cuffs barrel style, if for no other reason than to mix it up in that more of a casual setting.
Very useful and informative video about Cuffs/Links. I wear French cuffs most of the time. Preston good job.

My 9:54 personal opinion on F-cuffs?
They're fancy.
If I had any, I would wear them every time I wear my whitecoat to see patients.
I had a professor who wore these. Never knew what they were called. Thanks GG
I do a variation of the single french cuff style. I take the cuff and sew a fancy button, ie. gold, leather or an artistic button to replace the normal button

Loving this video just ignore the haters
I wear cufflinks everyday
Convertible cuff.
I have a few of those, but didn't know the correct name.
Thanks
Thanks Preston.
I wear them how i want and when i want Because those are extremly handsome, i love French Cuffs, i literary wear suit when i do sports.
Doctors aren’t allowed to wear cufflinks where I come from :/ (infection control thing) I love them so much though.
Could you do a video about the Swedish tie brand called Röda sigillet by Amanda Christensen
?
i always end up getting ketchup on my french cuffs. @3:44 missed a belt loop? lol
LOL I didn't even notice that at first😂😂😂
I'm a machinist and made my own cuff links on a lathe
I rarely suit up here in the desert, but when I do, I love breaking out a pair of my granddad's mid century links. People treat me like royalty, lol.
Hola, greetings from Lima, Perú. Thank you for the pronunciation of "Charles Tyrwhitt". They used to be made in Peru.
I look at this distinguished gentleman and return my grandfather's cufflinks to history
