Pocket Square with Argyle....yay or nay?

[JSFMACLJR]

Wo wo wo fashionistas. Use the tip or don't. Heaven forbid someone not want to buy a "pocket square" and have to keep up with it in their sock drawer for the rare moment they want to wear it. Besides once you give your hanky away, your outfit will look horrendous without the pocket square. Then what will you do? Or do you also carry a back up hanky?

I always carry two.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few pictures of my always present handkerchiefs. I restricted the photos only to those in which I am wearing the kilt!

I always carry two, I'd not ever think of pulling out my pockets, maybe thats just me I'd rather not look the fool. If you really want one PM me your address I'll send you one.

I always carry a couple of plain, white hankies and a few tissues in addition to the pocket square. I would not use a pocket square as a handkerchief, so it does not leave the breast pocket.

Wow, such harsh words over a pocket square. But in reality, the single peaked hanky looks just like a turned out pocket, at least to my peasant eye.

During the Great Depression, a turned-out pocket, usually a trouser pocket, was known as a "Hoover flag", in reference to President Hoover. That's what I thought of when I read this thread.

I wear them according to the "look" Here are 2 ideas IMHO "different & inexpensive. (BTW, please forgive the "hang of the jackets)

1 Wool ruminate ( craft store.) I have several plain colors to match my ties.

2. Tartan swatches Order a "swatch" of your KILT tartan

Well I for one think that pulling out your pocket would look terrible. As for hankie's it is a rare man that comes prepared with hankie's for ladies. And those who do, score lots of points in my book.

A gentleman without a pocket square? Unthinkable.
