I think Raoul is overpriced for a local brand.  For RM300, I might as well get a shirt tailor made.  Agree?

i thought Raoul is from Singapore.. anything more than RM300 im going for a custom made..

true its about the situation, sometimes you may not want to overdress in the office.. but sometimes its also about how natural you look in what you wear.. its also about how you carry what you wear.. if you look like you've been wearing cufflinks for years, its rare that someone would judge/question you.. however if you dont carry it well and its clear you purchased a new cufflink, then people are going to take attention to your cufflink.. and i find it natural for people to start questioning and try to "degrade" you for wearing it.. because they want to conform you to the way they think (its natural human behaviour), and i personally feel that their jealous because they want to look like you but they simply cant..

I've actually not seen anyone wearing silk knots before.  From what I've seen in my workplace (and among colleagues in the same profession), double cuff shirts are quite common and are always paired with cufflinks.  But personally, I prefer single cuff shirts just for the comfort factor.  Also, the fold at the double cuff tends to get dirty easily.

idk single cuffs just feel weird for cufflinks, feels like their not able to support the cufflinks properly lol.. double cuff for me when it comes to linked cuff..

Not to mention elegant while being minimalistic and probably cheap as well if the knot is made of polyester instead of real silk.


Added on

Seems that there are a lot of discussions regarding cufflinks and french cuff shirts in here. Jin, might you be merging this thread with the existing Cufflink and French Cuff Shirt thread?

here's a link i found on some of the popular collar type.. and also note that today, many designers are also coming out with smaller collars to complement slim ties..

ahhaa.. prices look kinda affordable.. will check out the place soon to look at their ready to wear shirts.. but looking from the website, the shirts look a little striking for my taste.. i like something a little more classic..
