A local outlet has these things by Armani Black Label that I can only describe as French cuffs but without the rest of the shirt. Just the doubled over barrel...what are these? It may be a silly question but I couldn't find a reference online.

Thanks

Turnback cuffs, aka cocktail cuffs, seen on various James Bonds over the years.

No, there's no shirt...I believe they are an accessory. Imaging you took your shears and cut a french cuff off, attached a very expensive price and put into a bin for sale.

Male stripper accessory?

(on a more serious note, perhaps to allow you to replace a set of old & fraying cuffs?)

They would work well for stripping, I'll need some time at the gym first.

That's the right idea though. MSRP was like 150 so those would be some expensive stripper accessories.
