Gentlemen:

I’ve noticed it’s becoming more and more difficult to find double sided cufflinks these days. I have always favored this style of cufflink, I find them more elegant and refined.
I would appreciate any information on a company that specializes in this style.

Kindest regards,

Grayson

Dear Grayson:

Double sided cuff links are indeed an elegant choice. Yes they can be hard to find but the hunt is half the fun. :)

However, there are a few options out there. Such as ebay, antique shops, and flea markets.

Haberdasheries in larger cities sell them as well, such as Paul Stuart in New York & Chicago.

Depending upon how much you want to spend James Robinson in New York on Park Ave. has a nice selection but they are very $$$$$.

Of course if you can make it across the pond to London, you'll be in the land of double sided cuff links. :D

I haven't had the chance to visit London yet and hope to one day, but I assume many of the shirtmakers and haberdasheries on Jermyn Street and tailors on Savile Row would sell them.

Here are some web sites to also help you.

Dear Grayson:

Cufflink79 supplied an excellent list of makers and, depending upon your location, you may be able to see their cufflinks in person. Bergdorf Goodman in New York carries a large selection of cufflinks, including sets from Deakin & Francis. Button Down, a small shop in San Francisco, also carries Deakin & Francis. Three other places to check if you happen to be in the Bay Area are Wilkes Bashford, Gumps, and Lang. Wilkes sometimes carries vintage cufflinks that might interest you. (I believe they're from a company called "Property of a Gentlemen," and, as I type, I'm wearing double-sided cufflinks from 1915 purchased at Wilkes.) Gumps also carries vintage cufflinks, as well as some new ones. Finally, Lang deals in vitage and estate jewelry and sometimes has double-sided cufflinks.

Good luck.

Best regards,
K-tie

I get mine made by a local jeweller. Not as expensive as one might think. I never use one-sided cuff-links.
