Pocket Square Towel Edge Type
 

Pocket Square Edge Types

The edge of your pocket square is the biggest differentiator between different pocket squares, both in terms of fabric, and in terms of quality.Depending on the fold, the edge is the most visible part of your square, and poor-quality edges are quick to fray, making it unwearable.There’s an inherent difference between edge types, depending on your fabric choice. Silk squares have supple, soft edges that are perfect for puff folds, but make structured folds almost impossible.Conversely, linen and cotton pocket squares tend to have more rigid edges, making them suitable for structured folds.But regardless of fabric, there are some things you need to know about the quality of edges so your new piece doesn’t fray on the second outing.The vast majority of known brand's pocket squares are machine stitched. This type of square will do for all but the most discerning, and comes with a variety of edge types. However, for those looking for the very best, they can opt for a hand-rolled model.

 

The hand rolled pocket square edge

The best quality pocket squares that money can buy have edges that are hand rolled into a tight tubular shape, with hand stitching, roughly 5 or 6 stitches per inch.Handmade, the edge is slightly uneven, giving it a uniquely crafted finish.

 

The imitation hand-rolled edge

Machine stitched, this edge is straighter than hand-rolled, but the stitching is more visible and rolls over the edge.

 

The parallel edge

This type of edge is flatter, with a simple single line of stitching. This type of edge is also machine stitched.

 

The z-shaped edge

This edge is made with a machine, and similar to the parallel edge, the Z-shaped is flat but with a wave stitch pattern.

 

The embroidery edge

The embroidered edge is made with a machine. It is a tight hard spiral that adds some rigidity to your square, making it better suited for structured folds with 2 or more points.

 
Material of Pocket Square

 

Mens Floral Pocket Square

Silk

A Silk Pocket Square is the perfect addition to your formal wear clothing, as the sheen that comes with silk will give your outfit an injection of flair and vibrance. Just as silk neckties work perfectly with a suit, so do silk pocket squares! Where the silk square lacks is that the edges are not as rigid as cotton or linen. Hence, Silk Pocket Squares generally work best with a puff or edged puff fold.

Paisley Silk Pocket Square

Cotton

Cotton Pocket Squares have more rigidity than their silk counterparts, and so are best used for very formal occasions. The stiff edges allow for more intricate folds that show off the squares corners and edges, which can add a sense of elegance to one’s outfit.

Tartan Plaid Pocket Square

Linen

Linen Pocket Squares fall somewhere in between Silk and Cotton. As a result, while their edges have some rigidity, the fabric is also soft enough to be worn with a puff fold. Linen Squares are therefore your most versatile as they can be worn with simple puff folds typically reserved for silk or more intricate folds often used with cotton.

 
 
Application of Pocket Square
01.

Add a pop of color to your outfit 

Pocket squares are a great way to add a splash of color to your outfit. Whether you opt for a bold, vibrant hue or a subtler, muted shade, a pocket square can help you stand out and add personality to your ensemble.

02.

Coordinate with your tie

Another way to use a pocket square is to coordinate it with your tie. You can match the color or pattern of your pocket square to your tie for a cohesive look.

03.

Experiment with different folds

Folding your pocket square in different ways can add interest and texture to your outfit. There are several different folds to choose from, including the classic straight fold, the puff fold, and the pointed fold.

04.

Dress up a casual outfit

A pocket square can add a touch of elegance to even the most casual of outfits. Pair a pocket square with a button-down shirt and jeans for a polished, put-together look.

 

 
How to Style a Pocket Square
 
1

Pocket squares should complement, not match:It may be tempting to match your necktie or bow tie to your pocket square, but this accessory complements the rest of your outfit and gives it a pop of color. If your suit and tie are a solid navy blue, try adding a pocket square with different colored polka dots or a paisley design. Or, if you have a colorful, patterned suit, wear a white pocket square with a plain dress shirt.

 

2

Go simple with the presidential fold:The presidential is a classic pocket square fold. Place the pocket square on a flat surface, fold it in half vertically, and then fold it in half again the same way. Then fold it once more horizontally and place it in your suit pocket; just a little bit of the folded top of the square should jut out, sitting flat in your pocket. The presidential pocket square resembles a thin, horizontal strip.

 

3

Try the one-point fold:This is another simple, classic fold. Start by folding the cloth in half upward along the diagonal, then take the bottom left and right of the triangle and fold them inward. Once in your jacket pocket, only the pointed top should stick out.

 

4

Combine black and white:A white silk pocket handkerchief tucked into your suit jacket works best for formal wear such as tuxedos.

 

5

Get creative with your folds:Part of the fun of pocket squares is to customize the fold to your liking. You can fold the square fabric in various ways to create pointed or puffy pocket squares. Get creative and make your own signature fold to adorn your outfit.

 

6

Wear a seasonal material:You may want to opt for a lighter, silk pocket square in the winter and fall. Go with a cotton or linen pocket square for the summer and spring.

 
How to Clean Pocket Square Based on Material
 

When cleaning your pocket square, always consider the type of fabric you have linen, silk, cotton, polyester, or wool. Different materials have different ways of handling them, as follows.

 
Linen

Linen is easy to tidy up. You can clean your plain linen fabrics at 140°F and the colored ones at 104°F. However, do not put them in the dryer. Always hang them out to dry, but use high temperatures and lots of steam to iron them when they get wrinkled.

 
Cotton

You can also treat cotton squares the same way as they are pretty easy to clean. After cleaning, you can put them in the dryer. An added advantage with cotton is that you can always use that bleach formula to remove the tough stains unless we are talking about colored pocket squares. In that case, go easy on the bleach. Ironing at high temperatures can help remove wrinkles.

 
Silk

When it comes to silk squares, a lot of vigilance is required. A lot of challenges can be encountered here because silk is very delicate, and therefore, machine washing and drying are not viable options. The best approach is to send them to a dry cleaner for washing.
However, if you are hell-bent on doing the cleaning yourself, hand wash the squares in cold water. When drying, just use a towel. Roll them nice and slow inside the towel and press. You can then lay them out in areas without direct sunlight. When removing the wrinkles, put a piece of cloth on top of the silk square to iron.

 
Polyester

The fourth square fabric you can have is polyester. Due to its durability and convenience, you can machine wash, dry, handwash, and air dry the material as you like. The only caveat is that you should avoid bleach and use low temperatures with polyester squares to avoid shrinkage. You can also iron at warm temperatures.

 
Wool

Finally, you can clean wool squares at 140°F and the colored ones at 104°F. Do not put them in the dryer. Always hang them out to dry and iron at medium temperatures.

 
 
 
FAQ
 

Q: What is the benefit of a pocket square?

A: A pocket square is chosen to enhance and coordinate with the colors and design of the suit or jacket fabric. Some prefer matching the pocket square with the tie and sometimes the two are sold as a set. They are part of the particular fashion look and are purely decorative.

Q: Why do people wear pocket squares?

A: The pocket square is generally used to provide a bit of sartorial flair to your outfit, with contrast generally being the key goal. The black pocket square when paired with a dark navy or black jacket being the exception to this.

Q: Do you really need a pocket square?

A: There are no hard and fast rules on when you should wear a pocket square, though when wearing a three-piece suit, a pocket square is normally a key styling item. The pocket square is an extremely versatile men's accessory, so playing around with colours, prints, and fabrics is a must.

Q: What makes a good pocket square?

A: Make sure that you desist from overdoing your patterns. Always balance flat colors and colored patterns in your tie and pocket square. Also, ensure that your pocket square fold matches the occasion you attend. Flat folds, one-point folds, and two-point folds are for formal occasions.

Q: What does a pocket square say about you?

A: Ah yes, the pocket square. It's popular again–the perfect way to separate yourself from all the jokers out there. It can say anything: I'm casual, I'm cool, I'm classic, I'm suave, I'm elegant, I'm smart, I'm sensitive, I care about details.

Q: Should you wear a pocket square to work?

A: Even for the most conservative and formal of office environments, a crisp white pocket square (square folded) is almost always a safe bet. After all, back in the 1950's and 1960's it was very much standard practice for a man to wear something in his chest pocket for work, and even after work.

Q: Are pocket squares old fashioned?

A: A staple of modern menswear with roots in the ancient world, handkerchiefs and pocket squares first became popular in the 1400s among the well-known gentlemen of the day. With the 19th century came the two-piece suit and the pocket square truly found its home in the left breast of every distinguished gent.

Q: Do you wear a pocket square with jeans?

A: The pocket square is by no means reserved for formal wear only. It can easily give some charisma to a blazer and jeans outfit and looks great worn casually with a suit without a tie. Stay far away from pre–folded and pre–stitched pocket squares (as well as clip-on ties). Don't go overboard with exact color matching.

Q: Which type of pocket square is best?

A: Generally speaking, a cotton or linen pocket square will always be more casual than a silk pocket square.

If it's good enough for James Bond, it's good enough for you.

Q: Do pocket squares need to be ironed?

Q: Should pocket square be lighter or darker than tie?

A: Your pocket square should pick up at least one of the colours in your tie but that doesn't necessarily mean the tone has to match. Your pocket square should give a subtle accent to your tie which could mean displaying a slightly lighter or darker tone.

Q: What is the most versatile pocket square color?

A: While a white silk pocket square is best reserved strictly for black tie (and even that is debatable given its excess sheen), a white linen square is far more versatile. A linen pocket square also holds shape better, given the stiffness of the fabric.
