T'was just and necessary. I only hope that you and Lady Day will heal from it.

I need to get me a shirt that I can use cufflinks with. I pass up so many cool ones in antique stores.

Since when is a lack of shirts any reason not to buy them? It just gives you a better reason to go for the shirts!

Swivel Back Cuff Links

Gee I guess the average Joe eusa_doh: sic) in the late 40's/50's who wore swivel back cuff links ( and a ton DID!!!) just wouldn't cut it here @ the FL

SC [huh]

PS YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! Will all gentlemen entering the winner circle this afternoon here @ Santa Anita please pass your cuff thru our link detector, only 14K double sided enamels will pass muster today. Anyone caught wearing swivels will be serving the drinks, rather tan being served a drink!!!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Everyone is free to wear any cufflinks he or she wants. I am free to dislike swivel-backs enough to not wear them myself. I am not free to tell anyone else that they mustn't wear them.


Free is the key word here.

[Solid Citizen]

Yes Indeed

I am just now readjusting my velcro swivel backs

SC lol lol lol

 

[Marc Chevalier]

And I'm putting on my velcro-backed baseball cap.

Not all swivels are created equal.

This is The ubiquitous swivel, ugly.

Some aren't quite as offensive.

Still, I'd opt for double sided.

Marc and Curt, Since you have such strong opinions on this topic, what is your view on chain-and-bar cufflinks like these?

That's an elegant compromise. Not really my style, but it's attractive and tasteful nonetheless.

Here's a few more variants. The first 3 images are a pair of 14 carat gold Whiteside and Blank vintage cufflinks dating from 1908 and done in an understated, elegant, but cleanly executed Jugendstil design.

The next image is a gold-plated modern reproduction of a Victorian era design complete with enamel work and a traditional radial swag motif. Once again, as in the previous example, this pair has a rigid bridge terminated with a bean.

Although, technically speaking, neither pairs are double-faced and bridged by a chain, in my personal opinion, I believe they still maintain a certain stylish compromise that is more than acceptable.

I'd love some Free cufflinks.

[Curt Chiarelli]

Thanks! I thought they were spiffy too!

I have a similar pair to example one shown-- never liked the swivel--down to one french cuff shirt but I went through a phase wearing french cuff white shirts. a cheap but nice link is the nylon knot cufflink.
