Is it wrong that I can recognise PG purely by the way he knots his tie?

My apologies for being both late and lazy. Not wishing to read through all the pages, I do have a couple of pocket square questions. I gather that silk is not the most desireable fabric if one will be wearing a silk tie? The better option being linen? Can one make a "pouf" effectively with a linen square? My only experience to date is using linen folded. Thanks for any input, John

Linen makes an excellent poof!


But, in the summer cotton can be very attractive as well.
