Fold Instructions:
- Lay your pocket square on a flat surface – smooth out the wrinkles.
- Fold the square, corner to corner, leaving a gap between the edges.
- Fold each corner up from the center of the base.
- Fold the tips inward so that the edges are flush.
- Fold up the bottom, creating a straight base to a triangle.
- Fold back the bottom corners.
- Carefully place the fold into your jacket pocket.
About the Fold:
This incredibly versatile fold is great for a range of situations. The Three Layers Fold is somewhat similar to The One Point Fold, but with layers of triangle shapes to create further interest in the square. This fold is not for simply blending into the background, but for showing off skill in folding a square without being ostentatious. This is a fold for confidence in humility.
This fold is suitable for almost any occasion including the more formal. It is well-suited with silk pocket squares since the fold itself gives structure and reinforcement to the point, given there are multiple layers to add body to the square. It is a more difficult fold to execute, but worth it for those who put the effort in to learn.
This is also a unique fold, that while more conservative will also do a justice showing off an intricate edge design, as well as an interesting middle pattern in a pocket square. Choosing this fold with the right pocket square will make a strong feature in the suit or blazer.
The three layers fold speaks of sophistication and strong constitution for the wearer. It does well to show off not only an interesting square, but an interesting fold.
