I really dislike the baked alaska fold.

I actually kinda like the super poof once in a while. More a going out look than day-to-day.

I made some hand-embroidered pocket squares from white linen as an experiment. What do you guys think of them? Would you wear something like that?

Now you made me a bit sad. I'm gonna try and forget.

They look really well made, acecow. I'm not sure what to think of the embroidery. Would like some pics with them in action.

Thanks! I'll get some action pics one of these days. Haven't had an occasion to wear a jacket in quite a while.

^ I hate the bottom, although I do love that jacket. The top is awesome. Are those blue beetle cufflinks?

PSG: How do you wear yours? Do you do the parachute often, or is there just a preponderance of photos of them?

I think the parachute is hard to maintain in real life as you walk and move around. I think it's only possible to keep it looking good for staged photos.

I wear a simple puff or a puff and loose points. Every now and then I wear a loose fold. I'm kinda over TV folds, they look far too stiff. A lot of it depends upon my mood and what looks best with the pocket square pattern. Some pocket square colors and patterns beg for a certain, specific look.

The parachute is a look that I am seeing more and more of all the time. I think it is the pendulum swinging from one extreme of the rigid TV/MadMen look to a more relaxed style. I think there is a good chance that it will be embraced by lots of people because it looks relaxed and expressive. Plus it looks good in window displays

Kent, what is your favorite way to wear your pocket squares?




I
