Great Video, thank you! I wanted to add, I have worn French cuffs for nearly all my "dress shirt" life, but recently discovered the "barrel-French" technique where one overlaps the folded back cuffs and passes a cufflink through. This looks quite attractive with slimmer jackets without the cuffs 'kissing'. It will be great to see your take on those in a video. Congratulations on a fantastic channel.

RE; chain cufflinks. I have a number of vintage links in that style. I've found that if you have a properly starched cuff that this sort cufflink is amazing. Bar cufflinks need to have Beryllium added to the alloy to keep the spring working for years. Many of my most bejeweled cufflinks are bars.(Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, et al gems that are in 18K )

@@heinzguderianbutmoreyounge9659 I'm again pitching the fact that a proper French Cuff is critical for Cuff Links. When you have the shirt ready for links there will be four (4) layers of starched fabric. I tend to place the links into the shirt before I put the shirt on and adjust the shirt sleeve by the button on the opening that runs from the base of the cuff heading to the elbow. I do this with all of my cufflinks as some of them have a better side that will appear first before the entire cufflink is seen.

Here's a little solution for those (like me) who have to allow for a larger neck, which results in a cuff that is just a little bit big for the wrists (in off-the-rack shirts, anyway). Take a very small, but somewhat thick rubber o-ring (or similar) and thread the stem/t-bar of the cuff link through it. If the visible section of the cuff link is large enough, the o-ring will be easily hidden between it and the shirt. If not, the o-ring can be placed on the underside of the cuff. The added thickness of the o-ring will create a tighter fit, and the flexibility of the o-ring allows for ease of use. Alternately, you can always shop for cuff links that will provide a tighter fit, but if you've got a particular shirt/link pair that you *really* like - as I do - this is a workable solution.

If there is enough fabric layers things will be too tight to fall out unless something in the cufflink breaks. There is only one account in my family history where there has been a lost cufflink. That was back in 1881. My great-great- grand uncle had a pair of cufflinks that were 18K , carved Black Onyx; and, diamonds. He lost one. He had no sons so the remaining cufflink was made into a ring for his daughter. The ring is still in the family collection for the female descendants to wear.
