Pretty Perfect Pocket Square Using Shibui Silk Cloud
The Design
No returns on sale items, please. Dyelots may vary.
Add a pop of color to your blazer with the Pretty Perfect Pocket Square. This fine bit of fluff is purely for fun—sure to bring cheer to dapper dressers everywhere!
Shibui Silk Cloud lends a handsome luster and subtle halo to this wee pocket square. Silk Cloud is a lace-weight mohair blend with a core of silk (a significant 40%!). This floaty fiber, held doubled throughout, creates a smooth fabric that takes dye beautifully—perfect for a dashing accent such as this! For a touch of tweedy depth, why not try marling two colors together?
