Gentlemen Wear Cufflinks

Are you a gentleman? Because I’m a gentleman. A serial door holder. You could be 15 paces away, I’ll wait. There’s more: I’m known to carry groceries for old men and women in my neighborhood. Alright, I’m not really known for that, but if a tribal elder asked me to carry his or her grocery bags, I certainly would.

I do say “thank you” a lot. Probably too much. When I hand over loonies and/or a toonie for coffee at the drive-through every morning, I say “thanks.” It’s out of my control, really; I’m Canadian. Bottom line: I live with chivalry.

And a chivalrous man is a well-dressed man. No honorable baseball nerd’s outfit is complete without authentic, made from game-used Rawlings Official Major League baseballs cufflinks, brought to you by Gent. Supply Co.: Classic Goods For Modern Gentlemen.

In our humble opinion there are few sports as classy and classic as baseball. From the 1st pitch to the last, it is as much a battle of wits as it is elegant agility and impeccible athleticisim.

Nobody embodies the elegant agility and impeccable athleticism — especially the impeccable athleticism — of baseball better than the baseball nerd.

Even though we’re not too fond of the new parks with names like “Petco” and “Qualcom”, there is still an allure of romance and nostalgia that can’t be denied.

I don’t mind “Petco Park.” It rolls off this gentleman’s tongue. But, yes, it’s true, baseball’s allure of romance and nostalgia cannot be denied. Seriously. I once tried to deny them. They prevailed.

We’re always on the hunt for understated sports memorabilia to represent our love of various games, and these cufflinks hit the perfect mark. Set in sterling and created from an MLB Certified Rawlings Baseball, we love the idea of wondering who hit or pitched our cufflinks.

The cufflinks were probably made from baseballs used during batting practice. But at dinner parties, the chivalrous gentleman proclaims they’re made of baseballs pitched by Harry Leroy Halladay III (the most gentlemanly name of all).

Let’s just say they’re a bit better than a foam finger.

An argument for another day.

Believe it or not, premium pricing has made its way into the cufflinks industry. If you’re in the market for New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox game-used baseball cufflinks, they’ll cost you $149.50. If you’re a Dodgers, Cubs, Rockies, Phillies, Rangers, Twins, Reds or Giants fan, they’ll cost you $139.50. If you’re a fan of baseball’s other 20 teams, move along, there’s nothing to see here.

No item, of course, can be sold online without a testimonial:

“Those who know me well know how much I love America’s Pastime. These cufflinks capture the essence of that nostalgia without the cheese factor. Great keepsakes to pass down in the family!”
— Jonny

Every gentleman, including Jonny, knows about, and is always aware of, “the cheese factor.” And you know as well as I do: There’s nothing cheesy about baseball cufflinks. Or this.

A tip of the cap, once again, to the mighty Mighty Flynn.
