Never seen one worn with a repp striped tie before. It's kind of a cool incoherence.

An interesting picture.......

Yes - ever since you turned him onto it, he's been obsessed - but you'd understand that, you perv.

Return my cockatoo at once.

It's a monument to his tailor's skill that he was able to fit an entire cockatoo in the inside left breast pocket, with room only to show the crest out the outside left breast pocket. Only problem is getting the bird seed and the poo stains out of the lining.

Smithers is a toy cockatoo. Quite rare.

I understand my pocket square was relatively splitting/divisive. In no way is this coming from a place of defensiveness (as I like my choice and am happy with it), rather I'll be using it as a means of a manifestation of our earlier discussion of individuality in classic menswear. Of course, an obvious choice for many over my irish linen cockatoo would be white linen in a tv fold. Whatever words you can use to describe my square (flamboyant, outlandish, over-the-top, etc.), a white linen square fits the aesthetic one can go for. Wouldn't a white linen square just fit seamlessly with a white/black houndstooth suit? Of course.

But the choice of a cockatoo? WTF?!

I work in a casual office environment, yet I'm wearing classic menswear garb (because I like to and I enjoy it). I take these small opportunities to "dress down". My utilization of a more idiosyncratic square fits the general "guidelines" or "rules" of CM, while allows me my own individuality and sense of style.

Feel free to still not like it . My goal is not to make you like my choice. My goal is to continue our discussion with, as I said, a physical manifestation of our aforementioned theoretical perspectives.
