Anything with a straight edge?



I have a couple of Kent's linen PSs (including the white one) and they are among my favourites. Very good PS and folds great.

I actually hardly ever wear the white linen, preferring the white leaf cotton pocket square instead as it has a very subtle print that looks just like plain white from a distance. But as you can see, it is very straight in a TV fold, and the linens are the same. In general, straightness is not much of a problem with linen and cotton pocket squares.

I'm relatively new to the world of menswear and am just starting to get my act together. But I just want to say thanks Kent for giving me a place where I can go to get great staple-ish items at really good prices. I'm super excited for the upcoming lavender polo, and am saving my pennies to buy some dress shirts as well.

Since you've recently answered my question about restocking the blue polos, I'll ask if you have any plans for a tie bar?

Received my Kent Wang white linen pocket square today. Very nice.

Can someone link me to instructions for a TV or Presidential fold please? I'm having trouble finding instructions that show where the rolled edges should appear. Thanks.

I just received my Kent Wang polo today. I'm an odd fit, a short slim guy with broad shoulders (5'7", 38.5" chest, 18" across the shoulders PTP, 15.5" neck). The fit of the shoulders is great, and the collar as others have said is wonderful. The only issue for me is the length. I don't usually wear polos tucked, and this thing is long! The fabric is very nice, and everything but the length is just about perfect, so I'm going to wash it and see if it shrinks up at all. It will likely end up at the tailor's to be shortened by 2" or so.
