A great way to store pocket squares

Hey Everyone.

I have been lurking around here for a while soaking in the fashion advice and getting many style questions answered. This is my first post, but I thought some of you might enjoy this little hack I just put together. Maybe it's been done before but I've never seen it.

For a long time I have been struggling with how to store my pocket squares so I can plainly see them all, and in a manner that would prevent wrinkles. I put together this whole setup for less than $7. It consists of two brass screws, an eye hook, a red leather shoelace I had lying around, and some mini clothespins I bought from Amazon. $6.20 for 100. Here's the link.

https://www.amazon.com/LWR-Crafts-W...105518&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+black+clothespins








Anyway, I don't think I have to explain the process of building it because it's pretty self explanatory, but I basically *********** shoelace to the wall, ran it through an eyelet in the corner, and put the little clothespins on it. Now all my pocket squares are in plain view, organized, and wrinkle free! Of course, you could always put it on the back of a closet door or any where else you can think of. Hope you guys like this!

Cheers

Not a good idea. The PS's will get stretched out of shape over time, due to gravity.

Could one fold them is such a way that it would prevent that from happening? I think I might be able to put up with them being slightly out of shape for the convenience of having them organized and wrinkle free. We'll see.

I dunno. Your trading wrinkles for distortion of the fabric's weave. Wrinkles are not permanent and easy to remove; a stretched out PS, much less so.
