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.

How to Style This Pocket Square

Utilizing unique and interesting folds imparts greater versatility, as well as debonair elegance, to your pocket square. Ensuring that your folds appear natural and unaffected will not only look more charming and nonchalant, but it will also be evident to others that you are not wearing a cheap, pre-folded pocket square.

For this particular pocket square, to accentuate the intricate embroidered cocktail detailing, we suggest that you opt for a fold that brings attention to its corner, such as the crown fold. Conversely, if you wish to draw focus to the white body of the pocket square, the puff fold is the ideal choice. Employing these folds allows the pocket square to serve a dual purpose, offering the versatility of two accessories in one.

While this pocket square can always be folded in such a way as to obscure the embroidered detailing, we consider this a disservice to the absolutely astounding attention to detail and craft illustrated by this embroidered cocktail. As a colorful accent, this cocktail embroidery provides unexpected visual interest and an impressive palette of colors with which to coordinate your entire outfit. It also provides a touch of whimsy to any fun ensemble that is sure to spark many delightful conversations, from a sport coat up to a velvet dinner jacket!

The Aperol Spritz Soirée

This immaculate white pocket square, meticulously crafted from the finest Italian linen, is elegantly adorned with a hand-embroidered Aperol Spritz, the quintessential cocktail of Italian summer afternoons.

According to tradition, Austrian soldiers stationed in Italy’s Veneto region devised this refreshing hot-weather cocktail in the 19th century. Since then, it has become a favorite beverage for anyone visiting the area, especially when reclining in the sun on the beautiful Piazza San Marco in Venice, Italy. Our pocket square version emphasizes the bright orange hue of this beverage, offering you expanded styling potential thanks to its vibrant colorways. 

When you fold this pocket square into your jacket, you're not just adding a piece of fabric but a statement of joie de vivre. The embroidered Aperol Spritz, with its bright orange and bubbly appearance, injects a playful yet sophisticated flair into your ensemble.

To enhance the effect, pair it with garments in complementary colors such as navy blue, olive green, or earthy tones, which will allow the orange to pop and sparkle.

How We Prepare an Aperol Spritz

To create an authentic Aperol Spritz, fill a wine glass with ice, mix in 60 mL of Prosecco, 30 mL of Aperol, and a splash of soda water. Stir gently and garnish with an orange slice to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and the full Aperol Spritz experience.

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.

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 after wearing it.

To remove wrinkles, use a garment steamer set to hot or iron, 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.

Cheers to you! With this refined white linen pocket square you are sure to be the toast of the town, but in case there was any doubt, we’ve embroidered a distinctive cocktail in one corner in bright and vibrant colors, providing the perfect finishing touch to this elegant accessory.

Every wardrobe requires at least one versatile white linen pocket square, and if so desired, this pocket square can be folded to totally obscure the embroidered detailing. But on special occasions or nights out, when you want to proclaim your preferred drink to the world, showcase this beautifully embroidered cocktail that is the work of skilled Italian artisans.

Why bother telling the barman your favorite drink when you can just show him in style? Bottoms up!

Details & Specs

White Linen Pocket Square Aperol Spritz Embroidery and Handrolled Edges - Embroidery
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Artisinal Italian Handiwork

    In the great tradition of craft cottage industries, the detailing on these pocket squares was embroidered by hand by Italian artisans working on an extremely small scale of production. Many of these artisans are literally Italian grandmothers, or nonne, carrying on by-hand embroidery traditions that have been passed down through the generations.

  • Hide or Emphasize the Embroidery

    When worn in a fold that obscures the borders of the pocket square, such as a puff fold, this pocket square appears to be a simple white linen pocket square suited to all occasions and formalities. By employing a fold that highlights the embroidered corner, however, you instantly display the hand-embroidered detailing, perfect for a night on the town, bachelor parties, or simply as a conversation started.
