Secrets of the Well-Dressed: The Difference Between Silk and Woven Pocket Squares

The addition of a pocket square to your outfit is one of the easiest ways to elevate your look. Every jacket should have a pocket square - ESPECIALLY if you are not wearing a tie! A pocket square is an opportunity to add a touch of contrast, color, and dimensionality to your jacket that, in my opinion, is essential and easy!
There are two primary types of pocket squares: printed silk pocket squares and the less common, but much more sophisticated, woven pocket squares. In today’s video, I discuss the difference between the two and what I love about each!
Online at KirbyAllison.com, we have an extension collection of classic, elegant, and timeless pocket squares that are both easy to coordinate and easy to wear!

Kirby, I am a customer and avid listener. I would love to see a video of how you organize and care for your pocket squares. Also, I would love to see one about your ties. Specifically from the moment you take your ties off to proper care of your ties. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and assistance with my journey.

Yes is STEAM used in pressing when ironed & folds in materials, should that be rotated like wheels on an automobile

[@alexmajor6949]

This would be a great video

How weird I was looking for a navy blue pocket square this morning! I didn't find one but I found this video.

[@jesusmgw]

Spending those last 15 minutes of the dressing up routine to choose the pocket square fabric, style, pattern and getting that perfect fold is delightful.

[@phmoffett]

Kirby, Great discussion and I appreciate your help with this level of detail.

[@LinusB20A]

I love your videos. Since I am soon to be a student I wonder which ties and pocket squares that is the most versatile under 20$? Also I would love to see how you organize your pocket squares and how you care for your ties and pockets squares. Also how to combine them , with each other if you only got one suit, dark navy.

A video about different outfits for activities like golf or pool would be pretty interesting

Golf? Baseball cap, Polo shirt & Chino/shorts
Never seen anyone wearing anything else on a golf course

What about doing a video on how to look well dressed for under 1000.00. Most us can only afford a few suits.

[@johnmadgen9958]

Hi Kirby, I could not help but notice you have not tied your tie using a Windsor knot. I enjoy your videos. I think the Windsor gives a tie an even look rather than the lopsided look. Why do you not use the Windsor when donning a tie. Just an observation

What is your opinion on grenadine pocket squares?

Kirby, does a silk or woven pocket square absorb more bodily fluids after a public restroom encounter?

[@joedirt3449]

Woven, everytime.

[@frankynonos3793]

@@joedirt3449 theoretically, woven is likely to absorb more sperms.

i dont understand why cloth for wiping nose must be in that top pocket hmm

Would a printed or woven silk pocket square be best in a nuclear apocalypse.

[@roarkbjorn2389]

Pocket squares need to reflect the soil texture of the earthen colors of the cultural architecture and land , notice how sartorial talks rust pocket square works beautiful and 'grounds' him to the earth , the natural cultural colors .This "thesis"is something i would like Kirby to delve into .
