    You can't screw it up. Sometimes I just staple it to the outside of the pocket and tie rusty cans to it with fishing line.

    You gave to such a simple accessory an outstanding look! Love all the different ones you shown but the very first one. There is no much character in it and makes one rather look like the president of a Banana Republic. For me, the rose one takes the biscuit. Well done 👏

    I dont have a pocket square. I do, however, have a mango - which goes nicely with the shirt. Whats the best way to use that?

    • @simonvalentino2795
      @simonvalentino2795 Před 6 lety +12

      If you still have the mango and the suit after all this time I apologize that none has gotten back to you on this pressing matter. What you are going to do is skin the mango. You have to be careful that the mango peal stays all in one piece so it is just a curved peal. It is okay if necessary to cut off the top and bottom of the peal. remove all the pulp from the back of the peal. Put the now removed peal on an ironing board face down and iron the back of it starting with low to medium heat until it comes flat. Spray it with a light coating on clear matt finish and let the smell of the spray dissipate. Now you are free to fold and use as a pocket square. The only fold that is really viable with this is the presidential fold but talk about a stylish healthy suit.

    Had my company holiday party tonight. Decided to go with The Flower fold using a Peal White Square and a funny Candy Cane Tie. It was a f'n hit! Black English Laundry suit, White shirt, Candy Cane tie, Pearl Square, everybody loved it and I know the Flower fold was the perfect accent, people were taking triple takes!

    Well Alpha what a great video. And you didn't spend so much of the time promoting the site, good for you. This is kind of like the old days of the channel and you were witty as usual. The aside remarks are always the best. I worked in the men's upscale clothing market for many many years and I never really felt good about how my pocket square looked. Too much bunched up fabric down inside the pocket itself. I feel better after seeing this, thank you very much. Jim not Nigle in Atlanta.
