Pocket Square with Argyle....yay or nay?

[McMurdo]

A "frugal mans way" is to reach into the breast pocket and invert the satin lining of the breast pocket. Odds are it will be a complimenting color and forms a nice little peak. Granted, this may only work on the "quality" of suit I purchase but if you only wear it for the aesthetics it will do in a pinch

How frugal do you have to be when a handkerchief is too much to spend? I know in these economic times nothing is certain, but if you really want one they are not that hard to come by.

Wo wo wo fashionistas. Use the tip or don't. Heaven forbid someone not want to buy a "pocket square" and have to keep up with it in their sock drawer for the rare moment they want to wear it. Besides once you give your hanky away, your outfit will look horrendous without the pocket square. Then what will you do? Or do you also carry a back up hanky?

[McMurdo]

I always carry two, I'd not ever think of pulling out my pockets, maybe thats just me I'd rather not look the fool. If you really want one PM me your address I'll send you one.

But it does make it a tad difficult to proffer to a lady to wipe away a tear.

I want to know what you're doing to make these ladies cry.

I always carry a couple of plain, white hankies and a few tissues in addition to the pocket square. I would not use a pocket square as a handkerchief, so it does not leave the breast pocket.

I'm with you on this. I actually normally carry 3, two in the sporran and one that stays in the pocket.

Well I for one think that pulling out your pocket would look terrible. As for hankie's it is a rare man that comes prepared with hankie's for ladies. And those who do, score lots of points in my book.

A gentleman without a pocket square? Unthinkable.

Wow, such harsh words over a pocket square. But in reality, the single peaked hanky looks just like a turned out pocket, at least to my peasant eye.

Most often because of my eminent departure.

Though I imagine that anticipation of Grant's arrival might cause a similar response.
