Step into classic style with this refined white pocket square, crafted from premium Italian linen. Featuring a finely hand-embroidered old fashioned motif, this accessory is a tribute to one of the oldest and most beloved cocktails.

Originating in the early 19th century, the old fashioned has remained a staple in the world of mixology, celebrated for its simplicity and depth of flavor. Our pocket square captures the warm amber and orange tones of this legendary drink, adding a sophisticated touch to any ensemble.

This pocket square prominently showcases the embroidered old-fashioned. It brings warm hues of amber, burnt orange, and deep brown to your look.

How We Mix an Old Fashioned

To make a perfect old fashioned, muddle a sugar cube with a few dashes of Angostura bitters in a glass. Add 60 mL of bourbon or rye whiskey and a large ice cube. Stir gently and garnish with an orange twist and a cherry for a touch of sweetness and aroma.

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 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.
