White Linen Pocket Square

lookatmystyle · Apr 2, 2008

Where can I buy a white linen pocket square? I looked online and the cheapest I could find was $35 for this JCrew pocket square. $35 seems ridiculous when I could just go down to the fabric store and cut a sqare of linen for $5.

And then finish the edges yourself?

I was using tissue paper in a TV fold for a while. No one seemed to notice

. You can get one for $20 from kentwang.com

Kent Wang has one in plain white linen for $20.

EDIT: LOL. Slow on the draw. I placed 3rd in the "rush the new guy to Kent Wang" contest.

Kent Wang's seem cool but a little small at 12" x 12". Any others?

If there is a Nordstrom Rack in your area, they have a box of 3 white linen pocket squares for $7.97.

Many people here prefer the smaller sized pocket squares, especially when it comes to linen or cotton fabrics. I try not to look like I stuffed an apple into my breast pocket.

I think you'll find 12" to be the ideal size as larger squares are just going to bunch up in your pocket and leave an unsightly bulge. If you do a search on the forums you'll see that a lot of forum members feel the same way.

You cannot go wrong with Sam Hober at samhober.com
That is where I purchased my pocket square.

I've seen those before and wondered what their dimensions were. If you own some, could you tell me if they fit into the pocket without bulking?

Yeah, linen is cheap, but once you start trying to handroll those edges yourself you will see where the extra cost goes into in the professionally made squares.

My advice would be to buy a decent one or do without.

All Nordstrom's stores carry them in packs of three.
