Fold Instructions:
* Begin with two contrasting yet complementary pocket squares of different sizes.
- Lay both squares on a flat surface – smooth out the wrinkles.
- Place one square over the other, aligned at the bottom corner – Begin to roll inward from one side.
- Continue to roll inward, stopping just before the halfway point.
- From the opposite corner, fold inward to envelop the first roll.
- Wrap the fold around the first roll 360-degrees – Fold the top corner behind.
- Roll the exposed corner in reverse.
- Carefully place the fold into your jacket pocket.
About the Fold:
This fold is almost made to look accidental, but it is definitely a serious fold and not made for the light-hearted. Use two pocket squares to present yourself on an afternoon or nighttime casual event, but it can just as easily be used in the workplace as a symbol that you are ready for after-work drinks. This is The Tipsy Sailor.
Combining a touch of elegance and conservatism with throwing caution to the wind, this fold is ideal for either the slightly eccentric work situation or slightly conservative social situation; depending on you, of course. It’s a hybrid type of fold like that.
Choose your materials wisely depending on the situation that you are in. Plain or conservative patterns for the workplace, or find busy patterns for the social conservative who is adding colour and flair. If you wish to be so bold, you could even use this fold with a tuxedo, if you are that eccentric to pull it off.
This is a fold that matches the pace of the wearer’s personality and situation, coupled with the pocket squares used. Using solid coloured pocket squares could be suitable for the eccentric wearing a tuxedo, or the more conservative fellow in a casual setting. As is often the case, may the square reflect the wearer
