Men's cufflinks

Hackett London's men's cufflinks are cast in rhodium-plated brass, built for the daily reach of the cuff across a full working week rather than the occasional formal event.

Metal and finish

Rhodium plating slows tarnish noticeably, keeping a mirror finish through constant contact with the shirt hem from morning to evening. Hackett London's men's cufflinks use a butterfly back closure as standard on the formal models, which sits tighter than a simple bar fitting.

A detail worth knowing

A hand-set enamel face resists chipping better than a lacquered one, a technique used continuously since the brand's first accessories collection. It's this kind of construction that separates well-made men's cufflinks from the generic sort.

How to wear cufflinks with the rest of the outfit

The most reliable rule pairs men's cufflinks and buckle in the same metal tone rather than matching pattern for pattern. A navy enamel cufflink with a matte silver tie bar reads as considered rather than overdone.

Where the material comes from

The brass used in men's cufflinks is sourced for consistent weight and finish, a standard maintained across the whole small accessories line since it was first introduced.

Do cufflinks work with any shirt?

No — cufflinks need a French or double cuff, since the fastening relies on two facing buttonholes rather than a single button. On a standard barrel cuff, a matching shirt button is the only metal detail on offer.

What's the difference between a butterfly back and a bullet back?

A butterfly back locks with a hinged toggle that folds flat against the cuff, giving a more secure hold through a long day. A bullet back slides through more quickly but can work loose with repeated movement.
