No surprise that this pocket square is great. All others I have from FB
are. I was impressed with the colors on this one. The brown is darker in
person than in the pictures, in a good way. The blues in particular are
quite striking. It's my first garment in ancient madder and I am very
impressed!

Product Info

Decadent Madder and Timeless Paisley

  • 100% Genuine Ancient Madder Silk
  • Hand Printed by Heritage English Artisans
  • Traditional Handrolled Edges
  • Unique Chalky Hand
  • Timeless and Elegant Paisley Design
  • Multiple Versatile Colorways
  • Three Unique Ways to Style It

How to Style this Pocket Square

The origins of the paisley design harken back to Antique Persia, and there's a reason this pattern has thrived for millennia: it is uniquely situated, with its organic appearance and multiple colors, to provide countless style opportunities.

Folding this pocket square with different folds will allow you to showcase all of the incredible potential of paisley. A simple puff fold will emphasize the central oversized paisley that decorates the body of the pocket square. A fold that highlights the edges of the pocket square, like a banker's fold, will bring attention to the linear border of regimented paisley swirls, combining the orderly with the organic. And why choose when you can display both variations of paisley by using an upside-down puff fold that showcases both sections?

Radiant Earthtones Rendered in Ancient Madder

With its rich earth brown body and paisley detailing in vibrant turquoise and cerulean blue, with mud red highlights, this pocket squares captures the most beautiful colors of the earth and puts them all on full display in the delightfully muted tones typical of genuine ancient madder dyes. 

This color scheme is especially well-suited to cool weather seasons, especially autumn, although with the correct color highlights in the rest of the outfit it can easily be worn year round: just emphasize the cool colors. It can be worn with any light or medium colored jacket; when wearing a darker jacket, just ensure that there is sufficient contrast between the jacket color and the pocket square to avoid a muddy appearance. 

Integrate this pocket square by selecting accessories, such as your socks or neckwear, with colors that pick out or harmonize with the many colorways present in this pocket square. Pastels like rose pink, mint green, and lilac will contribute to a more casual appearance, while olive green, navy, and charcoal will help you appear more formal.

Care

Cleaning

Silk and blended silk neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your neckwear using the following steps.

Gently blot any excess stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.

Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the tie to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.

If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.

Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.

Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the tie laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the neckwear to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling delicate garments.

Storage

To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neckwear tied or knotted.

Undo the knot and then roll the necktie up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.

Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.

To prevent wrinkles, store your silk neckwear hanging, flat, or in a very loose roll.

An Ancient Dye of Historic Beauty

Madder silk is a mesmerizing and lustrous textile that has been held in high regard throughout the annals of time for its intensely rich hues. The name "madder" is derived from the Rubia tinctorum plant, also known as common madder or dyer's madder, which is the source of its natural and vibrant dyes.

Traditionally, natural madder root was renowned for yielding primarily red pigments; however, the evolution of modern dyeing techniques has expanded this spectrum to embrace a panopony of deep, saturated tones. Envision shades such as mustard yellow, forest green, burnt orange, profound blues and violets—and naturally, the classic reds and burgundies.

The very finest madder products, such as those we offer, are renowned for their unique texture and sheen, having been printed on twill silk fabric treated with gum arabic, conferring on them a distinct, matte finish known among connoisseurs as a "chalk hand."

Today, the artisans dedicated to crafting madder fabric might be fewer than in days past, yet select purveyors continue to uphold this sartorial tradition. The creation of madder silk is an intricate and labor-intensive art, entailing numerous stages of screen printing and necessitating only the finest quality silk. With a commitment to excellence, Fort Belvedere sources its revered ancient madder exclusively from England.

Details & Specs

Close up Details of Bronze Orange Madder Silk Pocket Square with Turquoise,Green, Brown Large Paisley- Fort Belvedere

  • Organic Paisley Pattern

    The paisley pattern, a droplet-shaped motif with a curved upper end, has a history as rich and intricate as its design. Although named for the Scottish mill town of Paisley, its roots go all the way back to Persia. First popularized in the West during the 18th and 19th centuries, the paisley pattern is prized for its timelessness, versatility, and unique visual appeal, adding an organic flourish to any ensemble.

  • Real Ancient Madder

    Because of the complicated and expensive processes involved, only a handful of silk printers offer real ancient madder. Fort Belvedere has located such a maker in England, the home of artisanal real ancient madder production. To illustrate how complex and complicated this process is, consider the following: to dye with madder, the natural white base cloth must be outlined with a pattern and highlight colors applied only in the desired areas. Once the pattern printing is complete, the fabric is immersed in an indigo bath, staining the uncolored areas to the desired madder shade.

  • Unique Chalky Feel

    In addition to its rich and deep colors, real madder is also typified by its distinctive, chalky feel. Extremely pleasing to the touch, this unique texture and the elegant drape it imparts are achieved by restoring to the silk fabric the natural gum that was stripped away during the production process. The result is one-of-a-kind silk that feels as good as it looks.

  • Three-in-One Styling Options

    Because this pocket square has two discreet patterns, it offers three unique styling options based on the utilized fold: you can display all of one section or the other in a shell or banker’s square fold or a combination of both with an inverted fold-like the upside-down puff fold. The result? A single pocket square that can be styled like three different pocket squares.

  • Perfectly Sized for Silk

    The vast majority of pocket squares are sized to get the largest number of pocket squares per yard of fabric. By not considering the unique qualities of the material as related to weight and weave, however, these accessories cannot function well as pocket squares.

    Most silk pocket squares are 30 cm x 30 cm, or 12” x 12.” This size is dictated by the desire to save money, and the resulting pocket square is simply too small, because without added structure the smooth surface of silk will easily slip down and disappear into your pocket.

    By paying special attention to the unique qualities of our silk, we were able to engineer a pocket square that functions perfectly. After extensive testing, we concluded that 40 cm x 40 cm or 15.5" x" 15.5" was the perfect size for our silk pocket squares.

  • Heavy Weight Silk for Improved Drape

    The weight and weave of the fabric dictate its quality and function, and this unique pocket square has been woven with a heavier-weight fabric to ensure the perfect drape without compromising its soft feel. As a result, it will sit neatly in the breast pocket without collapsing and vanishing.

  • Stunning Hand-Printed Colors

    When printing pocket squares, it is necessary to reprint the entire pocket as many times as there are colors, adding each color as a distinct layer with each printing. Obviously, multiple printings allow for the possibility of errors or mistakes, necessitating exacting quality assurance standards. The result, however, is a hand-printed pocket square with beautiful and versatile colorways that will ensure that you stand out from the crowd. Only a handful of modern silk printers possess the skills needed to operate traditional silk screens and Fort Belvedere sources its fabric from a heritage English company that produces only the highest quality printed fabrics.

  • Meticulously Hand-Rolled Edges

    Although an expensive and time-consuming process, the edges of this Fort Belvedere pocket squares have been rolled by hand to ensure a neat and sophisticated look, in contrast to machine-made edges that are obviously so flat and regimented that they appear cheap. This edge treatment also improves the durability and longevity of the pocket square as it reinforces the areas of most regular wear and tear.
