Pocket squares made of wool
Imaginative: the handkerchief made of wool
No matter how you fold your handkerchief and end up tucking it in your breast pocket: imaginative motifs are fun and also like to stimulate stalled conversations in company. Rule of thumb for material selection: silk is noble and elegant, Baumwolle easier and practical, linen combines both - and fine wool non-slip and always stylish.And how do you fold your pocket square?
"Such a pocket square made of wool in the gentleman's breast pocket says a lot about the nature of the wearer. If the square hangs out like a cumulus cloud, it may belong to a true airhead. If the pocket square is neatly folded, the wearer may spend parts of his life behind mountains of paperwork. If it is folded into fantasy mountains - then it belongs to a mountaineer or an overflow of creativity. Which species do you belong to?"
