A pocket square is the smallest piece in a man's tailoring and one of the most telling. Worn well, it adds depth to the breast pocket without pulling focus from the tie. Worn badly, it distracts. The difference is usually material, restraint, and the fold.
The border on every square here is rolled and stitched by hand into a soft rounded lip, rather than pressed flat by machine. It is slow work and it is the reason the fold sits with some depth in the pocket instead of lying flat against the chest. On a piece this small, the edge is most of the craft.
Linen has a matte surface and a subtle, irregular texture that reads as considered rather than formal. It holds a crisp fold and suits everything from business tailoring to a relaxed jacket. Our linen pocket squares have a white base with a hand-rolled edge in navy, burgundy, or forest green, a controlled way to bring in colour.
Silk is smoother, with a faint sheen that catches the light. A white silk pocket square is the foundational choice for a suit and tie, while our off-white wool and silk square has a softer matte finish that is easier to pair than a bright white.
Keep it simple. A flat presidential fold suits a linen square and a business suit; a relaxed puff suits silk and softer tailoring. Let the square echo a colour in the outfit rather than match the tie exactly, and when the tie is patterned, keep the square plain.
Every square here is finished by hand in Italy and built to sit alongside our ties. Browse the grenadine ties to build a pairing, or see our tie and pocket square sets for a ready match.
