    Personally I've never worn cufflinks and I haven't seen anyone wearing them either, maybe I'm on the wrong side of the tracks, idk!! :D Anyone here wear them? Do people still wear them or have they've gone by the way side along with other antiques? There's a bunch of them on ebay right now for sale, may be good deals, idk. The ones in the pics are being sold for $800 smackaroos! :smuggrin: Anyone interested? :)

    I wear cufflinks often when going out. I've got quite a few french cuff shirts (required for wearing cufflinks for those that don't know).

    They've largely been out of style for several years now with the possible exception of special events. They're kinda making a hipster style comeback a little bit but you're generally not going to see them on anyone under the age of like 40 or 50

    Yes, I use to know a local guy who collected them, haven't seen him around lately so I don't know how that went for him but I remember him saying he had a large collection of them. :D

    Used to wear them back in the 60's-70's, but not now.

    Malaysian Airlines gave me a complimentary set about 20 years ago. Have never worn them.

    My folks took one of those Alaskan inland cruises once. My dad brought me back a set of cuff links with Alaskan gold flakes imbedded in them. Gave them to my son years ago when he wore what he called a "retro shirt" to an Avant Garde film festival.
    They looked like this set:

    Very cool. I'd be sporting them if I owned them. Real nice gift.

    My grandfather left me his gold cufflinks when he passed away. There's some very interesting story/provenance to these cufflinks.
