Pocket squares
The pocket square - His Master's Choice
Waistcoat, jacket, tie and handkerchief, these are the fashion-conscious man's weapons and important components of the suit. Pocket squares complement the outfit in a subtle way and can be varied depending on the occasion, whether business or casual, so that they match the respective tie or color of the suit.
A splash of color in the breast pocket
In France called 'pochette', in England 'pocket square', a pocket square is always a men's accessory that knows its place exactly: well stored in the breast pocket, folded in one of the many ways, it provides a splash of color, more or less discreetly, and complements the carefully chosen wardrobe of the gentleman in the best possible way. During the Biedermeier period, colorful handkerchiefs emerged that adorned the breast pocket of tailcoats & Co. The tailcoat, at that time completely without a breast pocket, had to make do with a white carnation. In the 1930s, sets consisting of ties (or bow ties) and matching pocket squares came into fashion - we do not like this at all, as it seems somewhat unimaginative. Pre-folded pocket squares are also to be neglected. The gentleman of the world always folds himself.
Linen pocket squares
The linen fabrics come from weavers in the Netherlands and Lithuania. In Hamburg, the pocket squares are sewn for us and carefully embroidered.
Handkerchiefs
Loyal companion and often used as a pocket square: our fabric handkerchiefs with satin edge. Manufacturer: Alfred Pilz and Pellens & Loick. Just like in the old days!
