Got the square today. I have multiple squares, almost all of which are high quality, but this one is especially good. It will likely be one of the squares I wear the most behind my standard white due to its versatility.

The Benefits of a Pocket Square

A pocket square beautifully adds an extra touch of sophistication and style to any ensemble. This small accessory provides a pop of color and texture to a suit, elevating the overall appearance with a sense of completeness.

The pocket square is also a symbol of attention to detail, showing that the wearer has taken the time to consider the finer points of their attire. When selected and folded properly, it enhances personal style and distinguishes a gentleman in any professional or social setting.

Light Brown Linen Pocket Square with Blue Handrolled X Stitch - Fort Belvedere

Beautiful Shades of Blue

This sky blue linen pocket square with pale blue handrolled cross X stitch is a masterpiece of subtle sophistication. Its bright tones and delicate craftsmanship make it a versatile accessory that can effortlessly elevate both formal and casual outfits.

To style it, start with a foundation of earthy or neutral tones in your suit or jacket. A medium to dark brown suit, gray blazer, or dark navy blue sport coat would complement the pocket square beautifully. For a more casual look, consider a tan or khaki jacket.

For neckwear, opt for a tie that incorporates light gray, beige, coral, soft pink, dark blue, mint green, or lavender elements. A striped or patterned tie featuring these colors would work well. Alternatively, a solid tie in a complementary color like orange could provide an elegant contrast.

Care

Cleaning

To protect its hand-rolled edges, we recommend that you not fully immerse your pocket square in water to clean it. Instead, create a solution of tepid water and mild detergent and carefully spot clean any stains.

Should your pocket square require more thorough cleaning, you can take it to a dry cleaner that specializes in handling delicate accessories. Remind them to be careful when cleaning around the handrolled edges.

Storage

Because it is so lightweight, linen as a fabric is naturally very prone to wrinkling. To reduce unnecessary wrinkling, always remove your linen pocket square from your pocket after wearing it.

Lay it flat in a cool, dry location for a few hours to allow the material to naturally relax and to avoid setting in any wrinkles or creases.

Removing Wrinkles

To remove wrinkles, use a garment steamer set to hot to work out the wrinkles. You can also use an iron set to the Linen setting with a piece of cotton cloth between the linen and the iron.

Lightly sprinkling the underside of the pocket square with water will help relax wrinkles more quickly.

Be sure to only iron the center of the pocket square and do not run your iron over the edges, as it could ruin the effect of the hand-rolled edges by flattening them.

The Fabric of Pharaohs: Linen

Linen has been a mainstay of classic menswear for years and employed generally since the time of the ancient Egyptians, being valued for its unique texture, breathability, and soft hand. Fort Belvedere sources the linen for all of our accessories from a heritage Italian mill specializing in producing only the finest examples of this versatile and refined fabric.

Italian linen is crafted to withstand time, making it a durable fabric that can last for years, even with frequent use. With its natural sheen and ability to drape beautifully, Italian linen exudes an air of sophistication and refinement that enhances any setting.

Linen is also an environmentally friendly choice; being a natural fiber, it is biodegradable. Also, the flax plant, from which linen is made, requires less water than other crops to cultivate.

Contrary to common belief, linen is relatively easy to care for, being able to withstand spot cleaning as needed and requiring only a quick iron or steam to quickly eliminate wrinkles.

What makes this linen pocket square with x-stitch detailing 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 is proud to offer a range of different materials in silk, wool, or blends thereof.

And while other pocket squares have their hems finished by machines, all of 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!

  • Made from Pure Italian Linen

    Linen is a decadent and functional fabric that has been employed in menswear for millennia. Fort Belvedere sourced this linen from an Italian mill. Compared to linen from, for instance, Ireland, Italian linen is generally softer and has a finer hand. Nevertheless, Italian linen is sufficiently crisp to hold folds well and not collapse down into your pocket.

  • The Perfect Weave for Pocket Squares

    After thoroughly testing every available type of weave, from coarse-woven to fine double-damask, we settled on this weave because it is ideally suited for pocket squares, possessing an elegant drape that does not add unsightly bulk.

  • Perfectly Sized for Linen

    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 linen squares are 43 cm x 43cm, or 17" x 17," in size. While they may work as handkerchiefs in the back pocket of your trousers, they are too big for the chest pocket and make the pockets appear overstuffed and bulky. The second most popular commercial size for linen pocket squares, 33 cm x 33 cm, or 13" x 13," is too small, allowing the pocket square to fall in on itself and disappear into your pocket over the course of the day.

    By paying particular attention to the unique qualities of our linen, we were able to engineer a pocket square that functions perfectly. After extensive testing, we concluded that 35cm x 35 cm or 13.75" x" 13.75" was the perfect size for our Italian linen pocket squares.

  • 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.

  • Contrast X-Stitching Detailing

    Done entirely by hand by Italian craftsmen,contrast x-stitch detailing necessitates even higher quality standards, because the contrast thread immediately highlights any imperfection or asymmetry. As a result, this detailing doubles the amount of time spent crafting these pocket squares, because each stitch has to be done very carefully and accurately from both sides.
