Fold Instructions:
* Begin with two contrasting yet complementary pocket squares of different sizes.
- Lay both pocket squares on a flat surface – smooth out the wrinkles.
- With the smaller square, fold one corner to another to form a triangle.
- Now, fold each corner inward toward the bottom point.
- Begin to fold the larger pocket square into thirds.
- Finish folding into thirds.
- Center the small square on top of the rectangle.
- Fold one side of the rectangle over the top of the square – keeping the edges flush.
- Repeat for the other side of the rectangle.
- Fold the left and right corners behind to create vertical edges.
- Carefully place the fold into your jacket pocket.
About the Fold:
This fold is not as delicious as it lets on, but using two squares it does allow the wearer to shake things up with a versatile fold fit for any occasion. The fold delivers the triangle of one square poking out from within a wrap of another square. It slightly resembles the triangular tip of a cannoli with some filling. However, it delivers all of the class that you may see in one of The Godfather movies.
This is a fold of thorough thought with the two squares. It can easily be used with a tuxedo by selecting two squares without any patterns. It’s suitable for formal occasions or the workplace by mixing a plain colour and a pattern. You can also use it in more casual circumstances however you like, but make sure you prove your skill with matching the right fabrics together.
The Cannoli Fold is a fold of class and conservatism. It heralds the feeling of a typical triangle-shaped fold, only with allowing more range as far as colour goes with using the two fabrics. The Embracing nature of the wrapped-around fold also portrays the feeling of comfort, like looking at one pocket square cuddling another.
This is also a fold of moderate difficulty. It seems harder than it is to compose, but any mid-level master of the pocket square should be able to execute this fold. It’s a fold suitable for daily use, or only special occasions.
