McDonald’s has been thrust into in the 2024 election, gaining particular attention over the weekend when former President Donald Trump served fries at a Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, location. But McDonald’s had nothing to do with Trump’s visit.

French cuff shirts, which are fastened with cuff links at the wrist (Mr. Trump’s, naturally, were gold) are an increasing anachronism. For many American men they are something to be worn (if ever) at weddings. Barrel cuffs, with sewn-in buttons, are far more common for shirts sold off-the-rack.
