Presidential Pocket Squares

[maxalex]

Is Biden the first U.S. president since Reagan to wear pocket squares? He doesn't always wear them, but often enough. I'm trying to recall a president since Reagan who wore them. Please correct me if I'm wrong, just wondering from across the Atlantic...

Remind me who was 41? I live in Europe.

George Herbert Walker Bush. A Yale man to the end.
His son was the 43rd president.

Yes, Biden is the first US President since Reagan to wear a pocket square with regularity.

One test is to see who wore one when accepting their party's nomination.

Combing through archival footage, the one time I spotted Biden not wearing one is when he accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama. But that event was sprung on him as a surprise. At other important functions, he wears a white pocket square by default.

For every other president since Reagan, wearing a pocket square was the exception, not the rule.

Good photo research as always!

Ok. The only reason Biden wears them is because he is trying to be cute. It's ridiculous. Like his different coloured stitching on his one functional buttonhole. This guy is dressing like a hot **** middle management car salesman
