I accidentally pulled on a silk knot cufflink too hard the other day and now it doesn't hold the cuff as tightly together as the other. It be stretched out. I can't really find anything about this on the interwebz. Any of you guys had success "re-tightening" a silk knot, as it were? If so, how?

Many thanks.

post of the month.

i was really big into silk cufflinks and would cry when they broke, but since i started buying nice metal cufflinks i realized that silk ones are just disposable and if they last past 1 use i got lucky!!
