A bespoke shirt cuff with a license to kill

Looking for something a little different on your next bespoke shirts? How about a cocktail cuff? This cuff is essentially a turnback cuff which fastens with buttons rather than cufflinks. Apparantly it was originally designed by Frank Foster, the esteemed bespoke shirt maker from Pall Mall and made popular by Sean Connery and later Roger Moore wearing the cuff on shirts in James Bond movies (Moore also wore them in some episodes of The Saint). The cuff is often called the James Bond cuff for this reason.

Originally designed for use with evening wear (hence the term 'cocktail cuff') the collar is today worn regularly with lounge suits in a more informal environment.

If you are looking for a cuff on your bespoke shirts with the flamboyance of the turnback, but want to do away with cufflinks then the cocktail cuff may be for you.
