    I love wearing my Ft. Belvedere linen pocket squares. The quality is great and they stay in place all day long. I do cut the green tag off of them, but when people ask where I got my pocket squares, I always point them to your website (I also have your white boutonniere too). Great video!

    Well done, Sven! When I worked at the Hotel Vierjahreszeiten in Hamburg in the 1980s, all of us who worked at the front desk had to do your "pinch" method and we had to line up to make sure we had did it right. Thanks for taking me down memory lane again....cheers!

    I just bought 2 new sport coats and I can’t wait to see how they pair with a pocket square!
    I love the nonchalant look of the shell folds

    I have to confess that I made frequent use of the stair fold when I first started wearing pocket squares, going so far as to fixing them permanently in shape using safety pins - never again! I usually wear linen pocket squares with a tv or triangle fold, I'm looking forward to trying out the shell fold with silk.

    I once bought a 1999 Ritzenhoff champagne glass which came with a cotton square with Empire State Buildings in a solar look in it and because traditional looks, such as Scallop and Rose didn't give enough yellow and black (the square is mostly white except for the middle, which is black and yellow), so I invented my own; the Tavastian Parachute.
    Here's how you do it.
    1. Contrary to the Rose, you don't fold the corners to the middle, you fold them halfway from that, so only the edges are folded while making an X-shape.
    2. Take hold of the tips of the corners and form the square itself into a gentle ball with the square's outside on the visible part, like the look of a tortoise shell. It should have a hooded look with the outer printed images visible.
    3. Put it into your pocket with the tips facing downwards and the hood visible upwards on your pocket. Remember to gently lift it a bit, so it can have a bit of a ruffled and open parachute-like look.

    Best way as Prince of Wales. But do'nt know exactly how can make it so perfect but whithout seeing it exactly perfect. Believe is one you show but do not which one as you do it so quickly or don't know how you can see it repeat without going throuhg all of the different style.
    And also like the completly straight one without seen andy edges.

    • @BeetleBuns
      @BeetleBuns Před 3 lety +1

      most human males gouge out their tear ducts as children, so they can't physically cry. The pocket square evolved as a way for human males to attract a mate by showing a potential "sensitive side" which was believed to be more attractive to the females of their species. At least that's what I remember from my textbooks in beetle school.
