Richard Sennett on Working Cuff Buttonholes
1February 2, 2026 by Ville Raivio
“One could always recognise gentlemanly dress because the buttons on
the sleeves of a gentleman’s coat actually buttoned and unbuttoned,
while one recognised gentlemanly behaviour in his keeping the buttons
scrupulously fastened, so that his sleeves never called attention to this
fact.”
