I think it depends how you wear squares generally -- if you like an ordinary puff, the 13" silk is fine, just shove it in points down and you're off. No trouble with bulk. If you like more complicated folds they're too small, though -- e.g. if you want both center and points sticking out of your pocket. The 17" are great for that, though.

17" wool-silk could be too bulky -- the Drake's Unicorn Hunt squares are around that size and verge on problematic for me.

I agree. 17 is too big for wool/silk IMO. Especially if you plan to wear it with a patch breast pocket.

I am not at all a fan of this negativity

Better too big than too small though.

Got my light blue linen square ordered earlier today! 13" is perfect for my boring square folds and I've found 12-13" to be optimal for patch pockets.

It is amusing to read such detailed discussions about pieces of fabric that get wadded up and stuffed in a pocket. “It’s a print from a 13th Century manuscript...!”

Seriously, though, always good to follow folks down the rabbit hole.

If it’s worth buying it’s worth arguing over in bizarrely minute detail while adopting increasingly dogmatic and extreme positions

A 4 inch difference is minute? No reason to be apologetic over a meaningful difference.

 

[smittycl]

Like I said, very interesting to read. I love the paths SF folks take. The discussions are fascinating.

17” Wool/silk square: perfect
13” linen square: also perfect

Sometimes, different strokes for the same folk

*IN* minute detail. The difference itself is vast.

 

[Caustic Man]

If something is meaningful I see no reason not to discuss it in minute detail either.

For years, I wanted to resist carrying all the different sizes of pocket squares and just enforce my preference of 13" on everyone. Now I've given up resisting and will be carrying the more popular designs in larger sizes and wool/silk.

@Kent Wang I am certainly open to 17" wool/silk squares at that price. Is it a situation that would require X number of orders, or one one off pre-orders suffice?

Single piece orders are ok, as long as you're ok with waiting 2-3 months. Send us an email at [email protected] and we'll setup a preorder for you.

Do you have an expected date for restocking rugbys in size L? Thanks.
