While I don't run across a lot of newer, designer clothing items during my thrift adventures in the midwest, it seems like I run across more than my fair share of ties with bird motifs. While I haven't hunted in many years, I always grab these items when I see them, and I've taken my pick of the litter, given some to friends, and given some away.
I recently ran across this great pocket square with a duck motif, and of course I had to buy it as well. It's a really nice silk piece with hand-rolled edges and the works. I must admit to not being a very big bird person, and my first thought upon seeing it was, "mallard." After looking at image searches, the red band on the neck is throwing me off, though.
Like a lot of pocket squares, the detail of the print can't really be fully appreciated when in action, but a co-worker of mine showed enough intrigue about it that I happily brought it out of the pocket and showed him the full design. Isn't that sort of what you're hoping for every time you wear a pocket square with something more than a basic pattern?
Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteI love the weave of that jacket.
Agreed! And a very nice combination of clothing items there too.

Once again, nice outfit, really like the jacket. Any tips to fold the pocket square ? I mean, I personnally make it puffs but can't manage to achieve a geometrical folding as you seem to do.
ReplyDeleteNice find. Sure you don't want to Style Share it? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is great, too. From more than a few feet away, it reads as a solid; up close, you see otherwise. I really like that sort of subtlety.
I've tried folding and stuffing pocket squares, and have come to the conclusion that stuffing looks better--to my eye, anyway. I would go for a TV fold with a white cotton or linen square on the very most serious of occasions, but other than that, I say, Stuff It!
