What is a french cuff? A641791

[Kachina624]

@Group 5 minus 1.  It's a wide cuff turned back, often worn with cuff links.  Very common in dressy men's shirts.

A641791 is not a true French cuff. It's a turned back cuff.

I ADORE a crisp white shirt with large, bold French cuffs.  However, the "French cuffs" normally claimed to be on QVC pieces are quite measly in comparison.😔

I'm guessing the sleeves (thus, the French cuffs) should be visible in the picture you referred with an Item # posted in your original post. Sorry, but I didn't look at it before responding.

On my silk blouses with french cuffs, the cuffs are doubled back and held together (to close the open sides) with 14K (yellow or white gold) cufflinks I've inherited from my family as gifts over the decades.
French cuffs are my favorite cuff on a long sleeved blouse. Sometimes French cuffs are closed with buttons or pearl inserts rather than cufflinks with precisious or semi-precisious stones in the 14K metal.

Men often wear French cuffs with their suits . . . and cufflinks, of course.

I'd love to have a crisp, white big shirt with true French cuffs in which I could use cuff links.  You rarely see women's  shirts like that.  I've yet to find one.

The shirt has 'turnback cuffs', not French cuffs. The name of that item is wrong.

Thanks to Sillee and Kachina.

I have a red Louis Dell Olio wing collar button down shirt with French cuffs, it's one of my favorite tops. I got a great deal on it on eBay.

You're exactly right!  They always call a puny turn back cuff a French cuff.
