[edit] Merge with Cufflinks

• The articles contain almost the same information, and an interest in one goes hand in hand with an interest in the other.
• I disagree. The cufflink is an entity unto itself, and often an expression of personal style. An interesting cufflink dresses up an ordinary shirt.
• The cufflink deinitely deserves its own entry.
• Certainly we should merge the articles. It's not a question whether French cuff or Cuff links are more important and thus deserves its solitarity. Rather each of those can not work without the other and even now some information (pictures including) does get doubled. A comprehensive info on both in one longer article with two sections would serve the encyclopedic purpose quicker and better. --Oneliner 08:59, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• The two articles should definitely be merged. Almost the entire french cuffs article is listed in the cufflinks article already! It's not a question of these two things being entities unto themselves, rather, that of the two being very closely connected and the simple logic of consolidating the two articles for simplification. Definitely merge the french cuffs into cufflinks.

[edit] Double Holes

• does anybody know anything about french cuffs with two sets of holes? I've got a dozen french cuff shirts, and all but one have one ordinary set of holes (i.e.: a total of 4 holes in each cuff). The other shirt has two sets of holes -- 8 holes in each cuff -- so I could wear 2 sets of cufflinks. What's the story with that? --Stewartjohnson 13:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Some of my shirts have three holes each side - one on the outer half of the fold, and a choice of two to line it up with on the inner part. This allows a small amount of adjustment to the length of the cuff. I suspect yours might be a similar arrangement; wearing two sets of cufflinks on each wrist would look pretty weird.
