Somehow, this pocket square looks better in person than it does in these
pictures, and it looks beautiful in these pictures! The colors are
vivid, complementary, and versatile, and the quality and craftsmanship
just show! Though it's expensive, it's well worth the price - my other
pocket squares pale in comparison. Can't recommend this one enough!

Product Info

Geometry Class Was Never So Fun!

  • Soft 30% Plush Wool and 70% Shimmering Silk Blend
  • Intricate Geometric Medallion Pattern with Multiple Colorways
  • Exquisite English Fabric Printed by Hand
  • Traditional Handrolled Edges
  • Able To Be Styled Three Ways

How to Style this Pocket Square

This pocket square features on its body a colorful repeating geometric medallion pattern and simple linear border with tonal edge detailing. As such, it can effectively be styled in three different ways depending on your chosen pocket square fold.

A fold that emphasizes the border of the pocket square, like a banker's fold, will present a band of color and the tonal shoestring edge. A fold that highlights the body of the pocket square, such as a puff fold, puts the complex geometric motif on full display. Finally, a fold that incorporates both elements of the pocket square, like the Upside-Down Puff, showcases both elements for a very dapper look.

Style with Confidence in Burgundy Red

Indulge in the rich depth of this burgundy red pocket square, a luxurious addition to any gentleman's wardrobe. Boasting a sumptuous silk-wool blend, this accessory captivates with its ornate printed medallions, presented in an elegant array of olive green, light blue, cream, and orange.

Styling this maroon pocket square with printed geometric medallions can add an elegant and sophisticated touch to your classic style ensemble. 

Choose a well-tailored suit in a neutral color, such as charcoal gray or navy blue. The deep colors will complement the pocket square's burgundy red without clashing with its vibrant pattern.

Select a tie that has one of the muted tones found in the pocket square (olive green, light blue, cream, or orange) to create a cohesive look. A solid color would provide a subtle background, while a tie with a minimal pattern could add complexity without overpowering the pocket square.

A simple lapel pin in gold or silver can add a bit of flair without competing for attention.

Complete the look with dark brown or black leather shoes and a matching belt; the richness of the leather will tie back to the luxuriousness of the silk wool pocket square.

The Perfect Blend of Silk and Wool

This pocket square is made from a blend of silk and wool, combining the color intensity and subtle shine of the former with the durability and structure of the latter. The result is a pocket square with an impeccable appearance that can be easily paired with many other fabrics.

It should be noted that printed silk-wool pocket squares are not as commonly found as silk pocket squares because it is difficult to create the perfect blend for the chest pocket. While most pocket squares are now printed in China on inkjet printers, Fort Belvedere silk-wool pocket squares are screen-printed by hand in England before being meticulously hand rolled.

Less shiny than pure silk examples, silk-wool pocket squares have a beautiful hand and drape to them that makes them especially compatible with casual sport coat combinations, as well as all kinds of tweed and country wear. However, you can also combine them with business suits in gray or blue for an understated, sophisticated look.

Unlike pure silk, linen, or cotton, this silk-wool blend is very springy, allowing it to easily retain its shape while resisting wrinkles. If you decide to switch from a puff fold to a crown fold, you will not need to worry about this pocket square acquiring unsightly wrinkles.

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.

What makes this silk-wool pocket square from Fort Belvedere so special?

Pocket squares are one of the easiest and quickest ways to improve the overall look of your outfit, but it all depends on the elegance, timelessness, and versatility of the pocket square: not all are created equal!

While most pocket squares are made from cheap synthetics in simple colors or garish designs, this pocket square is made from a versatile blend of 70% shimmering silk and 30% plush wool. Its design features colorful geometric elements typical of the pocket squares popular during the 1920s and 30s, with a vague resemblance to an exotic Persian carpet.

While other pocket squares have their hems finished by machines, our pocket squares are meticulously hand-rolled, with the embroidery work done by hand. Most significantly, nearly all other pocket squares are too small because they are simply cut to get the biggest yield from the piece of fabric it is made off.

At Fort Belvedere we determine the size of each square by the specific fabric used so you end up with the perfectly sized pocket square that will neither disappear in your chest pocket nor create any bulk. A pocket square cannot improve your look if it vanishes into your pocket or spoils the lines of your jacket, after all!

Details & Specs

Antique Gold Ochre Silk Wool Pocket Square with Printed geometric medallions in beige, red and blue with cream contrast edge
  • Gorgeous Geometric Medallions

    This scintillating pattern consisting of simple geometric medallions in a repeating pattern is one of the oldest in sartorial history, but also one of the most elegant. The intricately interlacing shapes are sufficiently complicated to provide numerous avenues for coordinating multiple colorways, but not so busy as to be distracting. Vibrant but still understated, complex but elegantly simple, this pattern is a study in contrasts and the remarkable depth of Classic Menswear.

  • Perfect Blend of 70% Silk and 30% Wool

    The blend of silk and wool selected for this pocket square was specifically chosen to ensure the perfect elegant sheen from the silk with the additional of improved structure from the wool for the perfect drape. The result? An incredible pocket square with a gorgeous pattern and the ability to hold any pocket square fold beautifully.

  • Ideal Proportions for a Silk-Wool Blend Pocket Square

    Most 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-wool pocket squares are a minuscule 30 cm x 30 cm, or 12" x 12,” a size selected only to save money. This size is simply too small, allowing the pocket square to fall in on itself and disappear into your pocket over the course of the day. By paying special attention to the unique qualities of our silk-wool, we were able to engineer a pocket square that functions perfectly. After extensive testing, we concluded that 42 cm x 42 cm or 16.5" x" 16.5" was the perfect size for our silk-wool pocket squares.

  • 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.

  • 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.
