    Thumbs up Choice Cufflinks

    I don't know how many of you are in on the cufflinks scene, but I just wanted to post a positive review here. A couple months back, I ordered a few pairs of their silk knot (monkey's fist) cufflinks. They were as good as they could be. Anyway, a week or so ago, one of them broke. It was my first time putting on that particular pair, and I was outside their return period.

    Due to my crashing computer, I didn't even know my order number. It was only a $6 pair, but you know, they are pretty and everything.

    So I sent them an email, and got a response saying it's all fine, and they just sent me a new pair, not charging me for shipping or anything at all, even though I was outside of their policy.

    Therefore, I recommend Choice Cufflinks to anybody who wears them!

    In the service biz (and I'm sure in many others), we have a saying that a satisfied customer will tell 10 friends, and an unsatisfied customer will tell 10 billion friends. So, I always like to tell a lot of people when a company does something exceptional. Choice Cufflinks went out of their way for me, so dollars to donuts they will go out of their way for you.

    That's all,
    Matt!

    p.s. of course, I am not affiliated with them in any way, etc etc.

    I wear cuff links about once a week on average, and I have a friend who wears them every day. I see they have celtic knots, St. Andrews cross, and thistle cuff links. Cool. Thanks for the pointer.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    That's great that they stood behind their product like that, personally I absolutely love my Kenneth Cole cuff links they were a Christmas present a few years ago


    I was just given this set they were my late Uncles, I will be wearing these on Burns night

    Nice looking stuff there.

    But with the stuff from my Grand Fathers and my Dad, I am set for life regarding cuff links. I may get a new set of shirt stud however.

    Thanks for the link.

    Thanks. It looks like a great resource.

    I love cufflinks and French cuff shirts. I even wear them with jeans and sport coat, sans a tie, for a more casual look.

    Cufflinks add panache to what otherwise might be too casual. (Sorry, Jamie, sometimes there isn't another word that fits.)

    Plus, since I have albatross arms, I find French cuffs with cuff links are more forgiving than buttons.

    No worries. I heartily agree.

    Cufflinks add a certain panache to an outfit, which is why it is certain Panache's outfits often have cufflinks.

    Cheers

    I've got a couple pair of antique Kum-A-Part cufflinks, and since I got them I haven't worn any others. Basically, instead of the standard cufflink style, they're symetrical, each half being held in the cuff like a button and then they snap together. That means you don't have to put them on after putting on the shirt, and they are easily fastened. Not that other cufflinks are that difficult to use, I just find this style more convenient all around.

    That being said, I'd really like to get a pair of celtic knotwork links. But #1 on my list is a pair I saw a couple years ago, which may now be impossible to get. They had a black disk, around the face of which in silver was the Ring poem in Elvish from the Lord of the Rings.
