Gift – Blue Silk Satin Pocket Square
Gift – Blue Silk Satin Pocket Square
Description
What fold works best with a silk pocket square?
For business, a flat TV fold (straight edge visible) or a single-point fold. For evening, a puff fold — gathered loosely and placed with the fabric billowing upward. Avoid overly complex folds; they look contrived.
Should the pocket square match the tie?
Never exactly. The pocket square should complement, not duplicate. If wearing a navy tie, choose a pocket square with a different texture or a pattern that shares one colour with the tie. Matching identically looks manufactured.
What dimensions does this pocket square have?
The standard Italian pochette measures approximately 33 by 33 cm — large enough for a generous puff fold without bulk. Satin silk holds its shape well in structured folds and drapes softly in puff arrangements.
Is a white pocket square always appropriate?
A white silk pocket square in a TV fold is the most formal option and always correct with business or evening attire. It is the one accessory that never clashes. When in doubt, white is the answer.
Care
This piece is crafted from pure silk or silk satin and finished by hand. To preserve its drape, lustre and shape over time:
- Dry clean only is recommended
- Avoid machine washing or soaking in water
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- If needed, steam gently or iron on very low heat on the reverse side, avoiding direct pressure on hand-finished edges and seams
- After use, let the piece rest flat, loosely folded or gently rolled, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Do not store it tightly compressed, to protect the fabric and the hand-rolled details
With the right care, the fabric will keep its depth, and the piece will age with quiet character.

For made-to-measure requests (different length, narrower width) write to us.
3 folds or 5 folds
3 folds - the classic Italian construction. Silk folded three times on itself: fluid drape, defined knot, soft structure. The tie you'll wear most.
5 folds - the rarer craft. Five folds, no interlining: the tie falls by the weight of silk alone. Fuller at the knot, more alive in movement. For those who seek the sartorial detail.
Both are hand-stitched in our Como atelier. Request either one by writing to us.
How to tie a tie
Four knots, from simplest to most formal: Four-in-hand, Half Windsor, Windsor, Pratt.
