For the gentleman who seeks to command attention not through ostentation, but through the quiet authority of impeccable detail, bespoke studs are the ultimate sartorial signature. These are not mere ornaments meant to keep your shirt closed. They are personal insignia, each pair conceived through an intimate dialogue between artisan and client. In the world of fine menswear, where subtlety often speaks louder than spectacle, custom studs distinguish the wearer as a man who understands that true elegance is cultivated in the unseen, the understated, and the uniquely his.

The privilege of commissioning bespoke studs lies in the assurance of exclusivity and the opportunity to shape every nuance. Unlike store-bought alternatives, each set is brought to life with a singular vision. The process itself is a rite of passage for the discerning gentleman, offering the rare chance to collaborate with artisans whose mastery is matched only by their passion for perfection. The result is a piece that not only complements the finest evening attire but also carries a narrative: each time it is worn, it tells a story of taste, ambition, and the pursuit of distinction.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many shirt studs do I need?

    Most contemporary Black Tie formal evening shirts require four studs, although some do take five. White Tie formal evening shirts historically took three studs, but varieties calling for four are also popular now.

    To determine how many studs you need, count the buttonholes on the front of your shirt, but only count the buttonholes that do not have corresponding including buttons. Note also that the button at your collar will usually be closed by an included button or possibly a collar stud.

    Please note that Fort Belvedere studs are sold individually.

  • Can shirt studs be worn with business suits?

    Shirt studs are reserved for formal evening wear and are not appropriate for business suits or standard dress shirts. Their use is confined to black tie, white tie, and other highly formal occasions, where they serve both a functional and decorative purpose.

  • Are shirt studs necessary for all formal shirts?

    Shirt studs are required for most traditional tuxedo shirts, especially those without visible buttons, such as pleated or pique-front shirts. However, some modern tuxedo shirts feature a fly-front design that conceals regular buttons, in which case studs are not needed. Always check your shirt’s design and the formality of the event.

  • How do you properly insert and wear shirt studs?

    To wear shirt studs, align the holes on both sides of your tuxedo shirt’s placket. Insert the stud through both holes, securing the shirt front in place. Most formal shirts designed for studs will have special stud holes, and a typical set includes three or four studs to accommodate the length of modern shirt plackets

  • What are shirt studs and when should men wear them?

    Shirt studs are decorative pieces of men’s jewelry designed to fasten the front placket of formal shirts, typically in place of standard buttons. They are most commonly worn with tuxedo shirts for black tie and white tie events, making them essential for occasions that demand the highest level of dress and sophistication.
