Another silly question---french cuffs
I guess this is a question for those who regularly wear their kilt dress outfits or anybody else with tuxedo or french cuff shirt experience far in excess of my own.
I just got a couple of rarely worn french cuffed dress shirts back from the cleaners and discovered something this time I had never seen before. Normally my shirts, including the french cuff ones, come back on a hanger with the sleeves and cuffs pressed flat all the way to the end. This time the french cuffed sleeves were folded back and re-pressed then held in place by some inexpensive (but not wholly unattractive) plastic gold tone cuff links. I am not sure what to think about this. Do I want these shirts spending the next weeks to months with the cuffs already folded and held in place (saves me the trouble of having to mess with it when the time comes to actually put them on and put my own cufflinks into place) or will it leave some lasting impression on them that I might not in the future desire (these were not inexpensive shirts either).
I ask this more in curiosity than practicality as I don't wear them often, but wish to make these "special" shirts last as long as possible looking the best they can for when I do decide to wear them. Feel free to blast me if I am being overly finicky.
