How to Style this Pocket Square

This pocket square is reversible. On the obverse is a hunting scene depicting a small flock of pheasant roosters and hens in a verdant glade. On the reverse side is a multi-tone organic pattern of oversized paisley, which has a vaguely floral or vegetal appearance.

When selecting a pocket square fold, you can choose to emphasize only one side or the other to take advantage of the unique styling potential of that side. Conversely, you can opt for a fold that combines elements of both the front and the back, creating a unique hybrid pattern.

Flights of Fancy with Burgundy Pheasants

The rich burgundy base provides a deep, elegant backdrop, while the orange pheasants and ochre paisley patterns offer a vibrant and intricate contrast. This reversible design allows for multiple styling options, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate both versatility and fine craftsmanship in their accessories.

When combining this pocket square with outfits, consider pairing it with a classic navy or charcoal suit and a crisp white dress shirt. The burgundy color complements these darker suit tones, while the orange and ochre patterns add a pop of color and interest. For a more adventurous look, you can opt for a blazer in a complementary color, such as a deep green or mustard, which picks up on the hues in the pocket square and creates a cohesive and stylish ensemble. Accessories like ties or cufflinks in coordinating colors can further enhance the overall look, ensuring a polished and sophisticated appearance.

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.

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.

What makes this pheasant pocket square from Fort Belvedere 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, Fort Belvedere sources only exceptional quality fabrics with unique and versatile colorways and patterns so you have the greatest possible styling potential when building an ensemble around one of our accessories.

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

Burgundy Reversible Pheasant & Paisley Silk Pocket Square
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fully Reversible with Two Unique Patterns

    The obverse and the reverse of this pocket square have been printed with two different patterns in tonally similar colorways. As a result, the patterns harmonize beautifully with each other but if desired each side can be styled separately. This pocket square is, essentially, three pocket squares for the price of one.

  • Country-Inspired Motif

    When you’re bedecked in hard-wearing tweed or leather, you need a pocket square that adds sedate color and country zest to your ensemble. Motifs typical of stately English country life are difficult to find nowadays, but this elegant example will have you feeling like the lord of the manor in no time. Perfect for tweed, flannel, and moleskin, this pocket square will be equally at home with a shooting party or hunt or for the urban warrior in the big city.
