Cufflinks on

a comeback

The shirt fashion focus is
on cuffs. With the return to
the well-appointed
traditional “executive look”
in men's clothing styles,
French-cuff shirts and
cufflinks are enjoying a new-
found populanty.

Contemporary” gold
cufflinks are smaller, more
Scaled down, mare .com-
fortable than their
predecessors, reports the
Canadian Gold Information
Centre. They're available in
a range of styles, with rigid
or chain links, with matching
stdes, twist bar hooks of
stationary backs.

Within this classic
framework, a wide range of
looks iS available in karat
gold designed to suit every
man's taste and preference.

Lustrous, highly polished
yellow gold is the most
popular, but new = matte
finishes lend a modern
feeling to the most
traditional designs.

Gold geometrics are
strongest’ but dimensional
graphics and _ free-form

sculptural shapes abound, as
do openwork and _ basket-
weave designs, accented
with coloured stones such as
coral, black onyx and lapis
lazul, 37 7"

Gold cufflinks express a
man’s taste, his attention to

detail. They're functional,
yet an example of his own

individual expression of
understated = style and
elegance.

ORIGIN OF CUFFLINKS

Cufflinks originated at a
ume when. shirts with very
narrow-sleeves first beear
fashionable. A slit had to be
cut lengthwise into the
Sleeve at : e
the shirt to be put on. Then,
a device was required that
would conveniently and
elegantly keep the cuffs
closed.

Although soon after it was
invented, the  cufflink
quickly became an_= im-
portant part of elegant male
fashion, it is still first and
foremost a device for
fastening shirt sleeves at the
cuff. Cufflink designs should
therefore also be judged
according to how well they
fulfill this very practical
function. Are they easy to
put on? Are they safe enough
to be worn without having to
worry about losing them?

Expenence has shown that
the simpler the linking
system (finding) employed.
the more secure and reliable
#8 the resulting cufflink. On
the other hand, this does not
necessarily make a cufflink

Not too macho
for Tom Selleck

Tom Selleck says he told
the producers of his CBS
senes “Magnum, P.1.,” that
they would have to make the
character less of a macho
lady-killer if they wanted
him to take the part. “I
wanted the guys out here to
like me,” Selleck told
Genesis magazine. “If 1 was
perfect, suave lady-killer,
the women would dig me,
but the men would hate my
guts " Selleck, who has been
called the new Burt
Reynolds. says Reynolds
sent him a framed
autographed picture » of

himself
Tom, 1

inscribed “Dear
gave you to the
Selleck family when you
were three months old. |
thought it was time I told
you that | o ams your real
father. You owe me nothing
for this but your undying
loyalty and gratitude for the
rest of your hte Your dad,

Burt ”
