The pocket circle

[Jovan]

I, for one, think this is a wonderful idea.

Going to contact him to buy one as soon as possible.

Interesting. I like the rose folds - those would look great in a red silk. I might be tempted by one or two of those as a novelty, though I can't see them repalcing squares any time soon. I do so like the points of a folded square....

Yes, but it wasn't Kent Wang's idea.

Hm... what reason did I start this thread again? I can't remember now.

That is against tradition.
It isn't right!
I kind of like it. Yeah, I would wear one.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

April 1 or not, it's an interesting idea. I like the rose fold, seems like it would go well with a more formal ensemble. But for the most part I'm of the fold-and-stuff mindset, I don't go for the highly structured look for a pocket square.

 

[Jovan]

I occasionally just stuff it in, but most of the time it's a simple square fold -- no more, no less. I'll try a TV fold sometime, but I can't seem to find decent instructions on how to do it.

I like the slightly chaotic, almost flower-like look to a 'stuffed in' pocket square - to my eyes, it's a nice juxtaposition between a sharply put together and coordinated outfit, and a little "human" untidiness. Works especially well with black tie... though I do tend to try omething a little more formal with white tie.

An April Fool's Day thread turns into serious business about pocket squares... only on the Lounge, folks. lol

Here is one of my all-time favourite images of a pocket square with formal wear. Somehow, black dinner jackets seem incomplete without a bit of white linen in the breast pocket.

100 % pure genuis. i'll be making a few of those myself.
but why stop at a circle?
why not any other shape?

Pocket Square Preparation and Folds

You guys are talking like you know what you are doing. I like white pocket squares in my suits, and have to prep them myself. If there is a thread that could give me pointers for starching/ironing and variations for folds? i haven't been able to find it. Thanks, Phil

No, we're just big talkers.


Read this and fend for yourself.

Sean Connery needs not be confined to our mortal "gun safety" rules.

Plus, it is an air pistol, which is pointed in a "safe" direction.

It is? I always thought it was some obscure, small calibre, English target pistol, like a .22 or .32.
