when I lived in Kuwait, I had about 20 shirts tailored for me, they all were french cuffs. Prob have 10(ish) pairs of cufflinks. I tend not to wear them to work though, as I work around energized equipment.. LOL

Default Cuff Links

I wear cuff-links with monogrammed shits.

I think it looks super classy and others notice!

I have heard they are not in style but strongly disagree.

I see, I think they look really classy too. The reason I'm asking is because I'm tired of wearing cufflinks that have no meaning.

I'm in the process of determining whether there would be enough demand to have custom cufflinks made for my old military unit and was thinking about getting some s1krr cufflinks made.

Wonder if I'd have to go through the formality of asking BMW NA for permission. I'm not looking to do this for a profit, I just want cufflinks that have meaning or provide some sort of individual identity.

I wouldn't think it would be a problem for personal use only. If you were to resell then I would say yes about checking with BMW NA.

I wear them everday and would definately be interested in S1000rr cufflinks. Incidentally, you can already easily get cufflinks with the BMW roundel on them so the design would need to be more S1000rr specific.

I thought about the roundel and concluded in theory it would look as dumb as me wearing cufflinks with a Chevrolet bowtie on it. Might be appropriate if I worked for that company, but otherwise creates a perception that is less than desired and reinforces the "BMW snootyness". However, BMW Motorrad cufflinks would be cool. They'd look a lot better than some WT Harley Davidson bandana and I'd be identifying with the motorcycle spinoff of BMW and not the entire brand.

If I was a CEO or had a Bentley, I'd consider manufacturer cufflinks. Given that I'm not, I'd rather identify with a model.

I called my friend in California that runs a clothing company to see what he could do, he's going to get back to me after he talks with his vendors. We were considering placing an order for 50-250 to keep the price per unit down but if we can't get rid of them legally it doesn't make any sense.

How many of you guys would be interested in S1000RR cufflinks?
