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 crocheted border, we suggest that you opt for a fold that brings attention to its edges, such as the banker's square or 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.

Versatile Styling with an Elegant Edge

We have augmented our traditional white linen pocket square with sumptuous edge detailing in the form of handmade crochet work that is reminiscent of fine lace. Rendered in stately white, this detailing creates visual interest but does not adversely affect the formality of versatility of this pocket square, which can be dressed up or down as your ensemble necessitates.

For maximum versatility, this pocket square can always be folded in such a way as to obscure the crochet detailing. In such circumstances, it functions exactly like a plain white linen pocket square. In most cases, however, we consider this a disservice to the absolutely astounding attention to detail and craft illustrated by its crocheted edging. In almost all cases, we suggest wearing this pocket square so that the edges are prominently on display, enticing all who see it with their refined tracery.

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.

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 crochet edge so special?

The presence of artfully manufactured lace or crocheting was considered a hallmark of artisanal quality on menswear items for centuries. We have revived this tradition of excellence with our luxurious white linen pocket squares with crocheted edges, which have echoes of the well-dressed past but are ready for the sartorial future.

Delicate detailing like crocheted edges sets apart any garment as one intended for showcasing the taste and elegance of its owner. These crochet edges are no exception, having been made by hand in a cottage industry setting by skilled Italian artisans working with only the finest Italian materials.

Currently, pocket squares with crocheted edges are enjoying a resurgence of popularity in the menswear spheres of Asia, and we have no doubt that this artful accessory will take by storm any region that you happen to be wearing it in.

Details & Specs

White Linen Pocket Square With Navy Blue Embroidered Edge
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Decadent Edgework

    Like a blast of seafoam, the edges of this pocket square have been decorated with delicate crocheted figuration that provides the perfect balance between unexpected visual interest and understated elegance. Drawing upon sartorial traditions of the past but with the sensibilities of the present, this elegant pocket square will instantly mark you as a refined and dapper dresser.

  • 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 Crocheted 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 pocket 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 30 cm x 30 cm or 12” x 12” was the perfect size for the body of this pocket square, with an extra 2 cm or half an inch at the farthest point of the crocheted edge.
