I am looking for a nice dress shirt with the tri-button barrel cuff and the european spread collars. Obviously men's shirt.

It is amazing, but I saw a female coworker today with the woman's version. I had never seen three-button barrel cuffs on a woman before (contrasting collars and cuffs). I think it is H&M she's wearing.

Get it MTM. But I think it would look affected.

I think 3 button cuffs are Kilgour's standard style

I think that T&A runs the three button as a signature.

I'm not sure but I think Turnbull and Asser might make them.


I love three button barrel cuffs. I have one shirt with it at the moment, but I would like to get some more MTM.

was wondering what would be the difference between a 2 and 3 button barrel cuffs (besides the number of buttons

)

Does it aid in making your arm look longer?

It makes the cuff a little longer, it looks pretty cool with surgeon cuffs. No real function otherwise

I think it's a pointless affection. Why would you want to sit there fiddling with SIX cuff buttons every morning?

If you want your arm to look longer, go with smaller (or shorter) cuffs and a single button. Bigger cuffs often look ridiculous.

FWIW, six cuff buttons are too much damn work. Try one shirt and see what you think.
