About the Fold:
Have the wind in your sails and the spirit of adventure. The four sails fold presents four points of the pocket square, laid out in such a way that they look like four sails. This pocket square fold is perfect for multiple uses and does justice to pocket squares with interesting edge designs.
Use this fold with a plain pocket square for more formal occasions, or stronger designs and bold colours for more relaxed situations. This is a fold of intrigue and majesty, made to make the wearer appear like the wind-blown owner of a yacht regardless of whether they do or not.
This fold works well with most fabrics, although it is beneficial to be folded with a stiff fabric to ensure that the sails don’t flop down. It is a medium-hard difficulty so should not be attempted by the more novice pocket square user.
The Four Sails Fold is a stunning look with almost any attire. It gives the impression of freedom of opinion. The wearer is bound to speak their mind and respect the opinions of others. Use it wisely to show people how open-minded you are.
