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 undulating edge piping of the pocket square, we suggest that you opt for a fold that brings attention to its periphery, such as the banker’s fold or crown fold. Conversely, if you wish to draw focus to the main color 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.

Wave "Hello" To Earth Tones

White and red are a sizzling combination most often associated with warm and hot weather. As such, this pocket square is the perfect choice for summery daytime ensembles when you want to stand out in the best way possible.

However, we have selected a tone of red that can be toned down with the addition of the right elements, such as a dark navy jacket, meaning that this rich red can be tempered and made to look beautiful in any season or at a wide array of formalities.

Coordinate your ensemble by pairing its colors with a tie, bow tie, or socks that complement one of the contrasting hues, or simply set it against a crisp white shirt for a classic look.

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.

What makes this linen pocket square with wave edge detailing so special?

A step up from the white pocket square, the cream pocket square is a timeless accessory that effortlessly enhances any daytime outfit. With its earth-toned color and warm tone, it conveys a sense of dignity and presence suited to softer, plusher fabrics. These pocket squares are sometimes designed with a border to further expand their versatility and color coordination.

At Fort Belvedere, our collection of premium pocket squares includes a series of “wave” pocket squares, featuring a subtle undulation along the border with a colored shoestring edge. The cream body simplifies pattern matching but addition of a brown edge affords countless opportunities for refined harmonies.

The end product is a masterpiece, introducing a variety of new color options and underscoring the exceptional craftsmanship that sets Fort Belvedere apart.

Details & Specs

  • 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.

  • Wonderous Wave Effect

    A subtle undulation along the border of this pocket square, accented by colorful detailing, provides pop to even the simplest of pocket square folds. To create this subtle wave effect, the pocket square was woven to our unique specifications to create two undulations along its edge. The piping was then essentially embroidered along the edge with a special hand-held machine and then cut to ensure a neat, even appearance.

  • Unique Mid-Texture Weave

    The texture and hand of linen is greatly impacted by how it is woven. Our handcrafted linens, for instance, have a much more open weave, imparting a tactile experience, while our finer linens have a tightly closed weave and an extremely soft hand. This pocket square exists in the middle, feeling soft to the touch but still possessing a crisper, stiffer hand often associated with vintage linen.

  • Two Styling Options

    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. Any fold that highlights the border, however, allows for the simple introduction of more visual interest.

  • 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.
