How to read a UK hallmark02 / How it fastens
Whale back
A flat, larger toggle hinged on the post. Easier to grip than a bullet back; sits slightly further from the cuff.
- 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.
03 / Dress code
Dress codes vary by occasion and by host. These tiers are a common-practice reference, not a rule — where an invitation states something specific, follow the invitation.
The four dress codes04 / Materials and skin contact
- Nickel-safe: tested to the UK REACH release limit for articles in prolonged contact with the skin (0.5 µg/cm²/week).
- Lead and cadmium content is held within UK REACH limits (lead 0.05%, cadmium 0.01%). Supplier conformity documentation is held on file.
- We do not sell ivory, and we do not use coral, tortoiseshell or any other CITES-listed material.

06 / About this article
Square faces sit flatter against the cuff than ovals and catch the light along one edge rather than across the whole face. The corners are softened by hand so they do not snag a jacket lining.
The whale-back toggle is larger than a bullet back and easier to grip, which matters if you are fastening your own cuff.
