Fold Instructions:
* Begin with two contrasting yet complementary pocket squares of the same size.
- Lay both squares on a flat surface – smooth out the wrinkles.
- Fold one square in half to form a rectangle, and fold one-third of the second square inward.
- Fold in the other third of the second square to form a slender rectangle.
- Fold the slender rectangle in half, end to end.
- Place the smaller fold over the larger rectangle about one-third the length of the larger rectangle.
- Fold the longer end of the bottom rectangle over the top of the smaller fold.
- Fold the left and right corners behind.
- Carefully place the fold into your jacket pocket.
About the Fold:
There are three mountainous peaks emerging from your jacket pocket to make for a fetching landscape. This imaginative fold uses two pocket squares to make a good looking fold, great for use in the workplace or in smart casual situations. This fold makes a strong feature, excellent to be worn without a tie.
Use two different pocket squares that are made from similar materials, and ensure there is some commonality in their tone. It’s not necessary to broadcast the difference between the pocket squares; two different shades of the same colour would work well.
Ensure that you bring some skill to this fold, it is not made for the novice pocket square user. It will also benefit from strong attention and practice. This fold when done well will attract the attention of others and bring sophistication to the suit as a whole.
The Three Mountains Fold is not literally meant to look like a vista to reminisce about skiing in Switzerland, but it is meant to convey some sense of adventure and romantic evenings in a chalet, even without literally saying so. This fold will bring great feature to your suit.
