Double Cuff Shirts
Men's double cuff shirts
Men's double cuff shirts carry a formality a standard button cuff simply can't match, built specifically to take cufflinks rather than a single fastening.
Construction and fabric
Cut in a smooth poplin or twill weave, the defining feature sits at the folded double cuff, secured with cufflinks rather than a button, adding a small but deliberate formal signal at the wrist. A non-iron finish keeps the shirt crisp through a full formal event without needing constant attention.
When a men's double cuff shirt is the right choice
A double cuff is reserved almost exclusively for formal and black-tie settings, worn under a suit or tuxedo jacket where the cuff is visible below the sleeve. This deliberate formality is why double cuff shirts have remained a distinct category within Hackett London's shirting rather than an everyday staple.

Do double cuff shirts always need cufflinks?
Yes, a double cuff is designed specifically to be fastened with cufflinks rather than a button, and won't close correctly without them.
Are double cuff shirts too formal for everyday wear?
Double cuff shirts are generally reserved for formal events and business settings requiring cufflinks, making a single button cuff the more practical everyday choice.
What cufflinks suit a double cuff shirt best?
Simple silver or gold cufflinks in a classic shape suit most formal occasions, while more decorative designs are better reserved for less formal settings.
