Far as I know everything hathaway did, whether on contract or not, they put their little red/orange "H" on. that area has a lot of textile/clothing factories....

Re: The Ivy Cuff -
My Hathaway for Press (According to McNairy) is sans 'H'.
Mr. Hairy McNairy informed that 1980's 3 btn collar, flap pocket, J. Press jobs were Hathaway made. This was over on AAAC or AAAT, back whe he used to be rude to Intrepid. The scruffy little whelp! 
It's a great shirt whoever made it - With a most un-Hathaway or even bog-standard-typical J. Press collar. The cuffs have shirring too...
Love it.

^ BD and French cuffs: A bit of an oximoron, I know, even if sometimes this 'mix' somehow works..better with gyraffe collar and without a tie, IMO.
I'm eagerly waiting to collect my new shirt with club tab-collar (this time the tab is a traditional Italian one, not the American type with snap or the -I think- English type with the small button on it) and rounded (to match the collar) "Milanese" cuff (an earlier version of the Bond cuff).
Another Ivy-Continental mix&match?

Re: The Ivy Cuff -
Interesting... And there is a mix somewhere in there, isn't there?
The elevation of the American BD has to be worthy of study.
Oxford cloth with French cuffs? I think not.
But Broadcloth with French Cuffs is a different animal.
I have some Troy Shirtmakers Flap Pocket BDs in Poplin - To my eyes another Oxymoron and yet the styling somehow makes it work.
Interesting!

^Not always, my friend... You should see how many 'mistakes' lie almost unused in my drawers...:-))
BTW, that shirtmaker has also a huge selection of linen-cotton fabrics for the summer, colorful bengal stripes, or butcher stripes, or checks... Maybe one of the next efforts (just after the more 'dressy' shirts I need to replace the worn out numbers) will be a slim Ivy button down with a soft elongated collar (and soft rounded barrel cuffs). Searching the perfect bd is like a small 'queste du Graal'..:-)

Re: The Ivy Cuff -
Watching The Marathon Man for the nth time recently I noticed that Roy Scheider was wearing BDs of epic roll proportions that looked like the recent 70s Gants I picked up on Ebay, BUT turned out when he got stabbed he had french cuffs on them. More than one shirt he wore showed this. Not a look I particularly would go for.
I do like that little stitch seam across the Sero cuff about 1cm from sleeve insert. Sadly missing on many moderns.
