A white linen square with bordeaux edge - I don’t have to tell you that this is a swiss army knife. Classics like blue and grey suits go really well with it, as do light blue and white shirts. Picking up the bordeaux in the tie is an obvious choice, so here is an idea for a more interesting outfit: green tweed suit, yellow/white striped OCBD, this pocket square, brown grenadine tie, bordeaux socks, suede chukkas.
No outfit is really complete without a pocket square. These here are especially easy to coordinate: classic white linen with colored edge (hand-rolled, of course). For linen pocket squares we recommend a rectangular fold: just fold the square in half three times and put it in your pocket so that about 1cm shows. If you like it really crisp you can iron the folded square (omitting the edges, obviously).
Irish Linen is a codename for the highest quality of linen: the long history this island has with the production and weaving of linen has made them masters of this beautiful fabric. By nature, linen is stiff; Irish Linen adds a buttery softness to this without compromising its inherently formal nature. This combination of opposites is what makes this fabric truly special. The breast pocket is the perfect place to showcase these gorgeous qualities: whether in a sharp TV fold or a less structured pointed fold: combined with the meticulously hand-stitched edges, these pocket squares are the embodiment of refined style.
