What do we think the appropriate number of pocket squares is for one to own?
What do we think an insane number is?
I have...too many.
I'm probably down to about 40 or so at this point. I've sold off 20-30 over the course of the last couple of months. I probably don't need that many... I seem to reach for the same 10-15 usually. But, it's nice to have options
Thanks. That was my initial impression as well. In spite of grey being a versatile colour, I rarely see people utilise it in pocket squares. Any idea how come?Should be fine with a non-gray suit/jacket
Ah, the Olof square. I had an opportunity to grab it last year, but didn't. Kind of regret it now. Thanks for your input.I have this square and I find it’s pretty damn versatile, as long as I follow SB’s idea which I do. It is a little lighter and slightly warmer than the one you posted but I think it should still work fine.

I actually e-mailed him last week or so and he told me that restock for PS will happen in approximately 3 weeks.I waffled on it for a long time but I’m glad I ended up pulling the trigger. He might have some left over if you DM him on IG.
I personally think that 33x33 is to small, especially for silk. They don't make a good looking puff, rather it looks flat. Also, you're not able to puff the PS and have the hand rolled edges sticking out at the same time. The problem is not as significant with wool or blends as they're thicker, but I still prefer a somewhat larger PS than 33x33. Others may have other preferences.As someone who does not own a quality PS yet is there a general consensus about the perfect size?
I am currently looking at 33x33cm options but am wondering if they might be too small?
