Hi


My other half has been in desperate need for some new cufflinks and every birthday, anniversary etx he's been asking for them but I've never been able to find any decent ones. Can anyone recommend where to buy decent cufflinks up to ?80-100?


I think I've always avoided buying them because I have no idea on what constitutes as 'nice' cufflinks (im the same with ties!). He works with lots of clients and consults a lot - would something like plane or car shaped cufflinks be too novelty / tacky looking? Been looking at Paul Smith - are these OTT?

I understand it's personal preference but any constructive advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Agent Sunlover,


Paul Smith or Ted Baker are fine for that price range.


Plain and or Silver are safe as Stevo mentioned, but you can venture away from this as long as the branding is absent or very subtle i.e. avoid a Moschino look.


Your instincts on vehicle shaped are on point.

Am I the only one who loves this Henry guy?


All above is great advice...Avoid novelty...blingy....and branded unless really subtle also good advice. Also avoid too large/chunky and ones with a chain connector which are too fiddley for every day use.


Plain silver is good as it's classic...I also have some great silver squares with a simple amber stone from Portobello market which are great and were approx 40 quid.

Planes/cars can be nice but rare and I wouldn't advise you buy for someone.


Go for something plain, preferably silver and rectangular - there's a shop on Northcross Road - Rigby Mac? - that sells some nice plain ones.


Lastly you shouldn't have to pay more than ?50 unless you're buying gold

Had to be careful how you displayed the Pepe Jeans key ring as well...

Standard 70s/80s although in the 70s you got called a 'poof' fairly widely if you had an earinng full stop. Hardly any blokes had both pierced, except trannies (am I allowed that word? I don't fookin know). Silver or gold Hoop/Hoop & cross or stud were the choices.


At 30ish mine went. Unless you're Kieth Richard, it's a bit sad beyond 30 :(

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
