Anyone have problem with using silkknots?? I find it almost impossible to put it on if i'm wearing the shirt. I have to resort to putting it in bEFORE putting on my shirt doh.gif

Seems most of the local RTW stuff the cuff buttons are way too small for silk knots mad.gif

silk knots and other double sided cufflinks must be "half" put in before wearing the shirt, and even then its a struggle the first few times.

I tried that, the other half was killing me, doing it with one hand doesnt help..

I dont have problem with my bespoke shirts, just the RTW ones with tiny miniscule cuff buton holes

2 solutions :

1. spend a whole weekend at home practising it until you have mastered it.

2. get a live-in girlfriend, and she can do it for you.

no. 1 costs less. biggrin.gif

sad.gif Its not a matter of skill as ... the hole is just too small... I've resorted to using silk knots only on my tailored shirt.. while RTW gets the single sided cuff treatment
