A pivoting bullet-shaped toggle. Turn it in line with the post to pass through the cuff, then turn it across to hold.
- Shirt
- French (double) cuff only
An ordinary barrel cuff — one layer of fabric with a button sewn to it — has no second hole and cannot take this article. Compare the cuff types
We state the mechanism and suggest checking the fastening each time you put the article on. We make no claim about how securely any mechanism holds.

06 / About this article
Mother-of-pearl is the nacre lining of a cultured shell. It shifts between white, cream and a faint iridescence depending on the angle of the light, which is why it has always been the evening material.
