    Vote for pocket square designs I'm working on

    I'm working on these designs. Most are unfinished, but I'd like to see which are popular so I can decide which are worth finishing. Most are low resolution images; I'd get a proper high resolution image when we print. I would also add a border in most cases. Lady and the Unicorn—Smell Lady...

    I'm designing shorts, seeking input

    I've been selling swim shorts for a few years, but I want to add some more colors, probably in non-swim fabrics. Personally, I wear the swim shorts even when I have no plans on swimming. The swim fabric dries quickly, so never feel sweaty. It may just be a matter of renaming the product so that...

    Jacket with hood

    I'm looking for a jacket of similar look to Barbour, with a hood. I find a hood very useful. Should I just go with Barbour? Which models? Barbour offers a few different removable hoods. Any other brands to consider? No hoodies—got plenty of those already and I want something less casual.

    How to hold an open umbrella, which direction to point handle

    In Paris Street; Rainy Day, perhaps the most prominent painting of a man holding an open umbrella, the main figure is holding the handle so that it is mostly pointing away from him. It is difficult to discern the handle direction of the other figures. Photo of @squalortoballer I had...

    Crazy idea: suspenders that attach to vest

    Here's a crazy idea: instead of wearing suspenders under a vest, would it be possible to sew six buttons on the inside of the vest, a few inches above where the trouser suspender buttons are sewn, and then link them together with mini-suspenders? The mini-suspenders would just be about 4" long...

    Melange, marled, heathered, donegal, slub

    I'm having a hard time deciding what to call these. I'm currently going with melange. It might be marled or heathered. A Google Image Search turns up a lot of stuff that looks like the polo shirt above, but the Wikipedia article on heather says 'flecks', which makes me think of donegal...

    I want to hire one or two artists to work on pocket square designs. Pay will be per piece, from $300-1000 depending on complexity. I have dozens of ideas in the pipeline so ideally if we can keep costs low, I can give you a lot of work. Requirements Able to produce digital files, preferably...

    Wall art: frame or not?

    I have a bunch of prints that I want to put on my wall. Currently I've been getting them printed on paper and framed with glass. Even with museum glass there's a bit of glare. (I'll be selling these art prints through my website soon) Would it be better if I just mount the prints...

    'Throne of Blood' Japanese wall art

    I just watched this recently, one of the best Kurosawa films (Seven Samurai bored me to tears). The throne room walls are decorated in this fascinating style, a minimal representation of clouds. Probably with gold, though hard to tell in black and white. Does anyone know more about this...

    Van Gogh Starry Night pocket square

    Crop 1 Crop 2. You can see the top of a church spire at the bottom Crop 3 For reference, the painting uncropped Bonus: Starry Night Over the Rhone. I think the brush strokes are too strong on this one, so would look a little strange on a pocket square.

    Snag Wizard

    I saw this in action once and it seemed to be fairly effective. The idea is that you wrap the snag around the wizard, and then thread the wizard through the fabric. I'm not sure how durable it would be or if the snag would just pull out again. Would it be better to just snip the snag off?

    Umbrella stand

    I want to make umbrella stands. They're quite small, as far as furniture goes, so I think you have more flexibility with having an interesting, extravagant design than with, say, a dining table. For example, an art deco dining table would be quite a bold look, while an art deco umbrella stand...

    Seersucker configuration

    I'm making seersucker sportcoats soon. What is the ideal configuration? Patch pockets? I think almost everyone makes seersucker jackets with flap pockets, even though most people only wear the jacket and not as a full suit. Why is this? Is there some sort of tradition for flap pockets with...
