Squares?! Please tell me squares!!!

Would love a re-release of previous city scapes or new ones in the linen blend they used the first go around. Perfect material for a square. Would cop a bunch since I missed the first time around.

Wow! What blistering responses I have received...
Okay...
Whatever.

No squares this time. Do people still buy pocket squares? We stock maybe 1/10th of the stock of pocket squares we sold 5 years ago, and still can't seem to sell more than 20% of them throughout the season. That category is even more dead than neckties for us

I have a drawer full of which I wear one, the white linen in a TV fold. Best I can do.

I remember when the new Drakes squares arrivals were selling faster than an 18 East drop. Now, we have to give them away (discount them and ship them for free) to clear the stock.

Same. I have most of CK's squares, and rate them amongst my favorite. The all linen one (I'll scrounge up a pic or wear tomorrow) is just a delight.

Ah, bummer. I can't speak to others, but I still wear (and love) my CK squares, most of which I got via NMWA. Unsure of what the quantities required would entail to make it worth NMWA's time, but if you could persuade Christian to either re-release some of his older designs, or better yet, come up with some newbies, I would happily commit to buying at least a handful.

Now that we're all buying so many fantastic coats, who would see those squares anyway?

Heard from Tony that he finally got a shipment of that green cotton seersucker in from Japan after some shipping delays. Any interest in a mid-season restock of the shirt jacket we did it in? I'm thinking about asking him to use it for that ?

Since it sounded like there was enough interest, I figure it's more fair to go the pre-order route and set up a quick item page here. Confirmed with Tony a few minutes ago that he can make 5, so that's what it's limited to.

Last call for Tony green seersucker shacket - we've got a couple left and he'll start cutting and sewing them this week

My inventory of squares is perilously close to 60, so I am about at my load bearing limit. I bought a wool-silk Drake's square at their outpost in Seoul last fall - I think that is the only square I have bought in the last 9-12 months.

Similar here, plenty of squares in a variety of cloths and colorways for S/S and F/W, if I do purchase, it is rare. I still wear them regularly (well, did before Covid)

I have too many squares as it is and find myself wearing both a square and tie less and less still I always manage to add a one or two a season.

The trick to justifying both lots of squares and lots of outerwear is to wear a separate square in both your suit coat and your overcoat, each carefully chosen/purchased to complement the outfit in each form.

My wife reclaimed my Portuguese flannel Cat Town shirt after it accidentally got washed hot and tumble-dried hot, shrinking a good two sizes ? .The texture is great, though. I think they should remake this one with preshrunk fabric.



Not pictured is me, in old Naissance banksia floral jacket and matching shorts, with IKIJI white tee.

Not for nothing, Ikire Jones pocket squares are the bees knees. Can totally see these selling at NMWA but what do I know.
