    I dont have a pocket square. I do, however, have a mango - which goes nicely with the shirt. Whats the best way to use that?

    • @simonvalentino2795
      @simonvalentino2795 6 лет назад +12

      If you still have the mango and the suit after all this time I apologize that none has gotten back to you on this pressing matter. What you are going to do is skin the mango. You have to be careful that the mango peal stays all in one piece so it is just a curved peal. It is okay if necessary to cut off the top and bottom of the peal. remove all the pulp from the back of the peal. Put the now removed peal on an ironing board face down and iron the back of it starting with low to medium heat until it comes flat. Spray it with a light coating on clear matt finish and let the smell of the spray dissipate. Now you are free to fold and use as a pocket square. The only fold that is really viable with this is the presidential fold but talk about a stylish healthy suit.

    Had my company holiday party tonight. Decided to go with The Flower fold using a Peal White Square and a funny Candy Cane Tie. It was a f'n hit! Black English Laundry suit, White shirt, Candy Cane tie, Pearl Square, everybody loved it and I know the Flower fold was the perfect accent, people were taking triple takes!

    Here's a pro tip i just discovered that saved my day: Ran out of the house in a rush and forgot my pocket square, what to do! The answer is simplicity itself... I reach into my pocket, grabbed the lining and pulled it up out of the pocket. Inside out. Then I just adjusted it and BOOM. Great pocket square hack!

    Well Alpha what a great video. And you didn't spend so much of the time promoting the site, good for you. This is kind of like the old days of the channel and you were witty as usual. The aside remarks are always the best. I worked in the men's upscale clothing market for many many years and I never really felt good about how my pocket square looked. Too much bunched up fabric down inside the pocket itself. I feel better after seeing this, thank you very much. Jim not Nigle in Atlanta.

    If you are planning on making the 'rose' style, i recommend you to place a pen/pencil in the middle while turning the pocket square clockwise/anti-clockwise. It will be easier to turn it and it will be neater.
