So, I went to men's warehouse to pick out some new shirts. I asked for french cuff, and they only had a couple colors. When I asked why, the salesman said they just don't get many orders for french cuff anymore, so they don't stock it. I was floored.

Most of the big department stores will carry french cuff options. I have a few but honestly I prefer a traditional barrel cuff these days. It's just a lot more convenient and the shirt is much more versatile. French cuffs without a tie are just... tacky.

Well sure, I wouldn't wear a french cuff without a tie. But french cuffs are, in my opinion, the most distinguished option. While I may not choose to wear one every day, I couldn't even buy one at that store due to their lack of availability.

Do you wear the french cuff shirts with suits?

Sometimes with, most of the time without. But always with a tie.

Ok, that's good, I don't like them unless they are with a suit or a tie.

I've never seen anyone use them without (at least) a tie. I'd correct that person with the quickness.

Those collar stays are nice. The plastic ones warp too easily. Often times at work I find myself having to build some temporary collar stays using either paper clips or a business card.

Really decent for the price. Only $20 is you don't want them engraved.

Legal size paper clips work in a pinch

Any of you ever see long point collars used at work? Someone was wearing one a few weeks ago and totally looked out of place. Too dramatic for business imho.

No, I haven't seen long point collars in a long time.
