Clean, neat folds for white linen pocket squares

[Leverandon]

I've just started wearing white linen pocket squares with my suits but have been having difficulty coming up with a clean, TV fold. I'd been using a couple of folding diagrams online, but what they always produce are squares that are two big for my suit's pocket. I end up having to fold it back a bit but that creates a bulky look and not the clean, straight edge of white that I want.

Does anyone have any suggestions for folds or great TV fold instructions?

You need smaller squares. No larger than 12-13" for linen. Anything more is too bulky.

Get smaller squres.

That must be what it is. I bought my white linen from J Press. Does anyone have suggestions for stores that sell smaller pocket squares. I live in New York City but could also buy online, of course.

Perhaps the style gods are sending you a message to try a different fold?

Saks used to sell a nice linen square, but I haven't seen them in their stores for nearly a year.

Ha. Its possible, and I would like to pick up some silk squares for a puffier fold, but I still like the clean look of the white linen TV fold and would like to master that.

Try Kent Wang squares. I believe they run a bit smaller and make a nice TV fold.

Great! Thanks! That website has some great squares and all the linen ones are 12' x 12'.
