I am a total newb so please be gentle with me...

Found this silk scarf online (in the ladies section of the "Tessera Collection")...
http://www.tesseracollection.com/tcc...in%20Nonpareil

Too effeminate? I think it is a striking pattern, and as a sort of bibliophile the allusion to bookbinding is not inappropriate. I guess I mean to ask, seeing this on a man, would you suppose it had been bought in the ladies section?

Many thanks

I think it is pretty cool. It would take very big balls to carry it off though, but it could be done.

At that price, I'd consider buying the scarf and cutting it down to use as a pocket square if you really love it. 10.5" wide, it would be a little smaller then average, but would it work? Any thoughts? EDIT TO ADD: The stuff they are selling looks a lot like what is sold through http://www.silksbylucia.com/. The latter appears to be the maker's own website, and if you are looking to get a Pocket square, you might be able to more easily land the right size 'square' you'd need direct from her.

As a general rule I try to avoid shopping in the ladies section. Just a preference.

Thanks for all the help. I will keep thinking about a tie, maybe see if they can make one with the green fabric of the scarf.

The scarf is a bit too girly for me, that is. I suggest that you just stick to neckties if you really do want to look manly. And I also use the same rule that Cant kill da Rooster uses: avoid the ladies section.

Another silk scarf for men. Good for winter.
Silk scarves are elegant and...not only for women!
