pre-folded pocket squares

[billyhoyle]

it seems like most people on SF prefer presidential and tv folds, but for those that like to mix it up, what are your thoughts on this site:

someone gave me a 3 point square from them and it feels like quality silk. looks nice. pretty thick.

thoughts?

I think the advertising pitch characterizing the products as being for successful looking men (emphasis mine) is unintenionally perfect.

it's the same as wearing a clip on tie.

if that's cool with you, then knock yourself out with a prefolded pocketsquare

Does mens image consultant have a study handy on this one. They seem right up his alley.

ha, i didnt expect rave reviews, but the one i have looks very nice and since they staple it to a thin piece of cardboard (only the top half shows), there is no pocket bulge.

Breast pockets are different sizes. What happens if the cardboard piece is too long, or too short? Wouldnt it be awkward to have that cardboard stick out along with the silk?

no, you just fold it down according to how much you wanna show or how big your pocket is. obviously, this isnt for everyone. but for those that want a complicated fold, its not a bad option. just dont offer it to someone after they sneeze.

Who would offer a pocket square as a hankerchief? They're two different things. It's gross to think of using an expensive slik square for that.

... next stage would be a tuxedo t-shirt for a black tie event

Quite practical...
