Navy Blue Paisley Silk Wool Pocket Square

Navy Blue with Cool-Toned Paisley

Deep and rich, the body of this plush pocket square is a dark navy blue. This beautiful color is especially apparent along the border, where it is contrasted with a contrast beige shoestring edge. The body of the pocket square features paisleys in various sizes with beige, blue, green, and subtle pink details. 

This pocket square can be worn with a jacket of any color, provided that, if worn with a navy jacket, there is sufficient color contrast between the two elements: otherwise, the effect could be muddied. To emphasize the formal nature of this pocket square, we recommend charcoal, dark brown, or royal blue jackets. To make it appear more fun and casual, consider tan, light brown, light gray, light blue, or even mint green. 

When selecting colors for accessories, we suggest warm-toned colors like red, orange, yellow, and pink for a contrast look or cool greens, blues, and purples for something more understated. Either way, we know that you'll look extremely stylish!

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.

Storage

Although popularly considered a delicate material, silk and silk-wool blends are a very strong fiber that resists wrinkling. However, if left folded up for hours or days, creasing and wrinkles will eventually set in.

To prevent creasing and wrinkling, remove your pocket square when undressing and fold it into a square before storing it in a cool, dark area, like a drawer or cabinet, to protect it from sunlight and dust.

Pressing

If heavily crumpled, you should first attempt to use a garment steamer on a low setting to relax the wrinkles.

If the wrinkles persist, place a cotton cloth on top of your pocket square and then iron on top of it around the center, using the delicate setting.

Do not run the iron over the edges of the pocket square as this will damage the hand-rolled edges.

Cleaning

If your pocket square should become stained or dirty, do not wash it by immersing it in water. Instead, create a solution of tepid water and mild detergent and spot clean the pocket square with a clean cloth as needed.

If the stain persists, take your pocket square to a reputable dry cleaner that specializes in the handling of delicate fabrics.
