No, this is not the L that famously adorned Laverne's shirts on Laverne and Shirley. This is the symbol for the British pound. The currency sign is the pound sign, originally. With two crossbars, then later more commonly £ with a single cross-bar. The pound sign derives from the black-letter "L", from the abbreviation LSD librae, solidi, denarii used for the pounds, shillings and pence of the original duodecimal currency system. These are a fashionable complement to blue, white, and many other French cuff shirts and can be worn by both men and women. Each pair is finished by hand to ensure a quality, lasting pair.
