Wow, guys, that is a lot of stuff to look through. Will try to get to it this afternoon.

Related, I've put up a new blog post that explains how to stuff your square. See here. It was inspired by this thread. Hopefully it will help you all win some more foo points and generally score big in life.

You might notice my older blog entries are gone. Well, I finally got my domain back (www.tweedinthecity.com) and decided to revamp the whole site. It will take some time to transfer things.

I hope the square guidance is helpful. Click on the image gallery to see a diagram if the description doesn't make sense.


Foo - I don't see an image gallery to click for the diagram...

This is really just a sideways variation of the old dangle-from-the-center, fold-in-half & stuff, isn't it? I seem to recall you adding a twist-as-you-bend that is not mentioned here - has this step been done away with? :confused:

The only part that I read in that tutorial was, "Linen, as always, should always be folded."

Click on the image of the pocket square. It will rotate the diagram.

After taking advice to change the square to white linen, I liked it so much I got married in it (day time). Other than the shirt cuffs needing a warm wash to shrink to post-wash size, have at it. Dare I say I'm expecting :foo::foo::foo:+?
Suit: Solid navy peak lapel
Waistcoat: DB buff linen
Shoes: Black perf cap toe oxfords
Socks: Dark purple
Shirt: Blue/white large stripe contrast collar
Tie: Shepherd's check
Square: White linen
Not shown: Purple barathea braces
