I'm really digging these Neapolitan cuffs....

not sure yet that they will replace french cuffs for me but they are nice.

I think they also call them flow back cuffs or "bond" cuffs

I wore a shirt with that kind of cuff yesterday. It was made for me by Jantzen.

Also known as casino cuffs or cocktail cuffs. I also like them. I find they are a nice midpoint in terms of formality between regular barrel cuffs and french cuffs.

I don't think they really classify as Neopolitan... they were invented by Turnbull & Asser and copied ever since.

+1 Borrelli calls them Neapolitan Cuffs, but they are more typically Bond than anything else. IMO, they need the pleating into the cuff to look just so. Borrelli is selling them pretty hard now, and they can be a cool look if you are the right guy. Judging from Ed's pics, he is that guy. FWIW, I have never seen them offered at any bespoke shirtmaker in Naples, but I am sure they could make them.

Yep, the RTW Naples guys are pushing them. I also know that it's a T&A invention if you will, but they seem to not do it anymore, at least not in a lot of their RTW stuff. Thanks for the compliment, Matt

You know I am a Borrelli whore

My Udeshi shirts have these cocktail cuffs. I like them but they're a ***** to keep in place (i.e. folded) after the shirt is laundered. Unless the cuffs are heavily starched I guess

I have a shirt that belonged to my father with that cuff. It was made for him in the mid 60's by his shirtmaker, Jules Holden in NYC.

I have made a few of these recently.

I am not a fan.

I am not a fan. I had one shirt with such cuffs. I had a tailor convert the cuffs into normal button cuffs.

 

[edmorel]

Actually, I am happy that many seem to not be fans

. Gives it more of a "uniqueness" to me. Wearing it today. Loving the shirt overall a lot

Is that linen or a cotton-linen blend? Looks nice.

Thanks, it's linen and I'm actually wearing it today even though it's January due to the fact that it feels wonderful (silky) and it is not see through like a lot of linen. It also holds up well, like cotton, not really wrinkling at all. As ridiculous as it may sound, I am treating this as a year round 100% linen dress shirt.

Good man! I also wear linen and c/l blends all year 'round. The italian mills do some great heavyweight linen and c/l that are awesome in winter.
