sounds a lot like a ring to me but i can't see why someone should have 3..

Cufflinks.

[Swark]

Do most men wear cufflinks every day? In this forum i mean.

[Concordia]

Perhaps in the idealized, fictional realm of this forum.

Personally, I'd have to plead not guilty as even today I have button cuffs under my jacket.

Balzac said that maintenance is the sine qua non of elegance.

This product, elegant art in its own right, makes maintenance possible.

[Swark]

Well to me maintenance sounds like grooming am i on the right lines or leading us away from the answer?

[Guille]

I think maintenance is refered to clothes maintenance, if not he would have said grooming. It might be shoe trees, but you only need 2 of them (minimum), 3 doesn't make sense. What about hangers? Good quality, wooden hangers for suits, and maybe by three he means one for jackets, one for trousers, and one for shirts in different shapes to suit their job. It has to do with maintenance, and its art in its own right, you touch them most of the time to remove your garments from them but you don't really look at them...

A wooden clothes' horse? - but, except in a family, how could you share one? It's very mysterious - lateral thinking might help - but nothing mucg comes along!

Well I might need to give you a bit of help as the scent has gone cold.

I believe an uomo elegante needs at least three of them.

You touch them every day but probably do not see them. Some of you even share one from time to time.

Like cloth and leather they take on a patina.

The French artisans were the undisputed masters with the Italians and English not far behind.

You don’t really own one of them; instead, you pass some time in their company. This is particularly true given the fact that you will be the food for worms long before they will.

You should never buy a new one, unless it is bespoken.

Bespoke?! Hmm... Spare ribs, anyone?

[Cufflink79]

Metal - cufflinks?

Hmm... I like the sound of that.

I actually believed , for years that men had one fewer rib than women until a physio, laughting her head off, corrected me.

And I like that! But only one, thanks, and not to be shared.

Seriously, I think that Guillermo may be correct. As a man with shoulders both narrower and less sloping than the decent clotheshangers he owns (but I really do own them!), I've long considered having shaped wooden hangers made to my measure.

Do you mean to say, NJS, that they don't?

No wonder that I never completed that course in human anatomy . . . .

Of course men don't have one fewer ribs than women! It's women that have one more rib than men!
