Pocket Squares: A Discussion Thread, Questions, Opinions, Suggestions.....

Aspinal has beautiful gift packaging. I've bought a few things in London and on line from them for my wife. The packaging makes it just that much more special.

Nice pocket squares. Dots are a great contrast to add to a striped jacket or tie.

Asked a colleague to pick up some PS for me when he was in London for business. Just received this in the office:

Spoiler: Packaging Details

I was surprised by how well these PS were packaged, almost have the feeling that accounts for half the price

I got one of these in Burgundy, the packaging was such a surprise for such a small item haha. Do tell me if those work well for you! They are a bit pricey though, almost £20 each including postage!

 

[JRGEICO]

Well, I skipped the postage by using my colleague so total bill was "only" 26.

Btw, are there significant differences or points of attention when folding a 100% silk PS (like those above) or a 100% linen (like my kent wangs). The latter ones are much more "firm" and in my opinion therefore easier to fold..

Any tips? Btw Does anyone here use some kind of "clipper" to make sure the PS holds it fold?

Just wondering, kinda new to the PS world! Thanks

I would try puffs and points with silk pocket squares and not tv folds.

Most of my SC and suits are of Navy/Blue, Gray, and a couple with Olive/Green and Blue check combo...any suggestions versatility (color and season) wise from these if I have to pick 3 or 4 items...I already have white linen, blue/white dots and other basics.. Thanks in advance... Vanda1, Vanda2, Vanda3, Vanda4, Yount1, Yount2

I vote for Vanda 1, 2 and 3. They are unique and will be versatile.

I have Vanda 2 - fantastic square. But you won't wear it with your navy jackets much. Vanda 3 is a great choice. I have this one also from Vanda, which is one of my favorite squares. I highly recommend:

^^ Thanks "a Nice Guy' ...The pink one you suggested is part of my wanted list, next batch...I just realized that Vanda 2 is cotton...Can cotton be paired with Wool/Tweed ? Also, so you think wearing this pattern is too much with with Navy, even with the white patterns?
