Pocket Square storage/organization

[Hap Hapablap]

Curious as to how FL users store and/or organize their pocket squares. Is there a "standard" way of doing so? I basically just keep them unfolded and stacked in a pile on a shelf in a closet, which I am not crazy about.

Mine are thrown haphazardly into a drawer and pulled out when needed.

Best way to do it. Never know what you're going to get &c.

Bad way to do it with cotton, linen and/or cambric pocket handkerchiefs, which look best when lightly starched. Throw them in a drawer haphazardly, and they get badly wrinkled, especially when starched.

Matter of opinion I would say. I have never starched any of my pocket squares. However they do look rather 'random', and I always considered it to be nice looking. Maybe I will have to try starching them.

Light starch helps the handkerchief's points to curve like lily petals, rather than fold flat like isosceles triangles.

I'm with you on this matter. I prefer a nice Irish linen handkerchief, nicely starched, and neatly arranged in one's pocket. However this is a subjective matter, so to each their own. I have known some rather natty gentleman that operate on the stuff and go method, and pull it off rather well.

The best way to do it is to go to thecontainerstore.com. They sell clear plastic CD storage boxes with sleeves for the CD's. You take your pocket silks, fold them in half, fold that over the sleeve, and "file" them in the box. You can clearly every item in the box. I have four. You'll wonder why you never thought of this before. A friend told me about this.

I'm with the 'stuffed in a drawer' faction. I wear mine in a very relaxed manner and a neatly folded pocket square would look out of place in my pockets.
I would say: there's no correct way to wear them, so store them however you like.

I don't have an eye for "putting it all together," especially when getting dressed before coffee, so I keep a well-picked pocketsquare in each jacket pocket. I never take them out.

This, sir, is poetry.

I have been known to do this exact thing.

I used to hang up ties still knotted, but it was functionalism over the creative process of tying the tie.

Folded in my underwear draw. Where all my valuables go.

You guys are way more organised than me. They normally stay in my pocket when I take my jacket off and then when I want to find a particular one I have to go hunting through my wardrobe.

Ha..... I'm glad it's not only me.... Course, that only accounts for about half of mine - the rest tend to be piled on the bookshelves in my lounge. Underneath the shoes somewhere.
