You mention “globe lock” as your favorite, but you never showed them and only mentioned them once. What are “globe lock” cufflinks?

Hi Ronald,

The wrap-around style you mention falls firmly in the category of T-bar cufflinks, as any other style of closure would make the style difficult to fasten. You’re spot on in saying they carry a very retro look – as they take up more space on your cuff, they are designed to stand out in a deliberate way.

My suggestion for wearing these would be to ensure the mesh portion doesn’t dangle too loosely around the edge of your cuff, otherwise, they can snag on various things throughout the day. Otherwise, enjoy wearing your cufflinks!

I wear cufflinks every day, Covid or no Covid, visitor traffic or no visitor traffic. If I skip my daily routine of wearing a suit, a tie, a dress shirt and cufflinks – it would be unshaven, a jogging suit and slides tomorrow…

Thank you for your continual education on many subjects. I have cufflinks for casual and dress, and I always feel they are a great look.
Due to Covid, I have less reasons to wear them in a formal situation, but hope that changes soon. However I have had dress shirts made with a button down collars ( J.Press, Charles Tyrwhitt) with French cuffs, and the casual look with the cufflinks , is great.
Thanks again!
Sims

Informative article. I never really gave my cuff links much more thought past whether or not I liked their look enough to buy and actually wear them. I have about 5 t-bar sets which I wear on the inside of the cuff like Preston does. A few years ago I started collecting vintage sets, most of which are chained. To date my favorite are a pair of Edwardian 18k gold plated with a decorative stone button on one side and a gold feather on the other chained together. Cuff links give me a little more creative feeling in a sometimes very conservative look.
