Shirt and fit

I confirmed the recipient or wearer owns a French-cuff, convertible-cuff, or compatible formal shirt.I checked the buttonhole size and fabric thickness.I compared the face, post, and backing dimensions with a pair that fits.I considered weight, desk comfort, and sleeve-lining clearance.

Materials and construction

The listing identifies the base or structural material.The listing distinguishes solid metal, plated finish, filled/rolled construction, and colour-only descriptions.Decorative materials such as enamel, pearl, stone, glass, wood, or fabric are identified.I inspected or requested photographs of the post, joint, closure, marks, and insert settings.

Condition and claims

Both links appear to be a matching pair.Repairs, replacement parts, replating, engraving, or damage are disclosed.I am not treating a box, stamp, weight, brand name, or seller story as proof by itself.For a valuable purchase, I considered independent verification.

Seller and transaction

I saved the complete listing and photographs.I checked the seller identity, reputation, payment protection, return window, and exclusions.I included shipping, tax, duty, insurance, appraisal, and repair in the total cost.I understand the consequences of personalization or final-sale terms.

After delivery

I will inspect the pair within the return period.I will test both mechanisms and try the links with the intended shirt.I will photograph the received condition and retain receipts.I will stop use and seek repair if a closure, post, chain, or insert is loose.
