You are right, it barely works. It looks a bit stretched. I think the classic cotton bandana size is ideal or a little larger, say 22"-26". Perhaps that is an opportunity for scarf and pocket square suppliers to fill? I know I would like to find a few in cashmere/silk or silk/linen blends in fairly simple colors and patterns.

No full scarves or ascots. More of a bandana look.

They were a bit too small but otherwise the look was very stylish and rather sporty. I still think the knotted neckerchief look is the most simple and masculine to pull off for a regular guy. To me, It is just simple and less fussy than a large puff of silk on an ascot.


They have many pictures of such scarves on their website. This look, however, is very similar to Hermes' several season ago. They're actually scarves, not pocket squares. Just oddly sized, that's all.

They weren't wearing the cotton bandanas shown on the TF website and they didn't have any in stock. They were wearing silk pocket squares at the event around their necks.
