Talk:French cuff

Merge with Cufflinks

 * The articles contain almost the same information, and an interest in one goes hand in hand with an interest in the other.
 * I disagree. The cufflink is an entity unto itself, and often an expression of personal style.  An interesting cufflink dresses up an ordinary shirt.
 * The cufflink deinitely deserves its own entry.
 * Certainly we should merge the articles. It's not a question whether French cuff or Cuff links are more important and thus deserves its solitarity. Rather each of those can not work without the other and even now some information (pictures including) does get doubled. A comprehensive info on both in one longer article with two sections would serve the encyclopedic purpose quicker and better. --Oneliner 08:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The two articles should definitely be merged. Almost the entire french cuffs article is listed in the cufflinks article already! It's not a question of these two things being entities unto themselves, rather, that of the two being very closely connected and the simple logic of consolidating the two articles for simplification. Definitely merge the french cuffs into cufflinks.
 * It seems to me that it would make more sense to merge the French cuff article into the Cuff article. The Cuff article is a little sparse, and articles on different types of cuff are very short and inconsistent.  Something like the Collar (clothing) article would make more sense IMO (all though that could use a bit of cleaning up also).  As far as cufflinks, I think it makes sense for them have their own article as they're an accessory, not a part of a garment.  They also have a certain cultural significance.

Double Holes

 * does anybody know anything about french cuffs with two sets of holes? I've got a dozen french cuff shirts, and all but one have one ordinary set of holes (i.e.: a total of 4 holes in each cuff). The other shirt has two sets of holes -- 8 holes in each cuff -- so I could wear 2 sets of cufflinks. What's the story with that? --Stewartjohnson 13:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Some of my shirts have three holes each side - one on the outer half of the fold, and a choice of two to line it up with on the inner part. This allows a small amount of adjustment to the length of the cuff. I suspect yours might be a similar arrangement; wearing two sets of cufflinks on each wrist would look pretty weird.

Stewart: I bet the ones with eight holes can fold back so each cuff ends up going through 4 holes. 74.104.1.193 01:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Jordan

Button cuffs preferable for job interviews?!
What a load of twaddle. One's method of cuff-fastening is entirely personal. Thus, I am deleting the sentence regarding "button cuffs are preferable for job interviews". I would suggest that this depends on the industry and on the sector. In my sector, a touch of style is required and cufflinks would indicate such a tendency. In an interview for a job in a more vanilla corporation, cufflinks may be seen as signs of an extrovert and thus undesirable.

Due to this sentence being POV, I'm deleting it. If someone can back the interview claim with reliable sources, please offer some citation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.86.138.193 (talk) 00:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC).
