Silk, linen, and cotton are the most popular materials for a plain white pocket square, each offering unique characteristics, primarily in terms of weight and texture. Silk, renowned for its luxurious feel, is also excellent for its quality. The soft edges of silk pocket squares make them perfect for relaxed, unstructured folds. Additionally, their lightweight nature ensures they won’t create bulk in your pocket. Plain white linen is another popular choice for a pocket square, particularly during the summer months. With firmer edges than silk, a white linen pocket square is better suited for more structured folds, while its center retains enough flexibility for looser, unstructured options. Linen’s unique texture also adds contrast when paired with complementary fabrics such as those found in suits, blazers, or jackets. A plain white cotton pocket square, though closer in feel to a handkerchief, should not be overlooked. Lightweight, versatile, and easy to maintain, cotton is also the most affordable option of the three. However, it lacks the distinctive properties of linen and silk, meaning it won’t hold a fold as well or add the same textural depth to an outfit. When it comes to a plain white pocket square, every detail matters, and hand-rolled edges are essentially most elegant – they represent the highest standard of pocket square finishing. Once you’ve selected the right white pocket square, the next step is choosing the perfect fold. There are numerous options, and the fold you choose can be guided by the occasion. The plain white pocket square is a classic – one cannot go wrong with this. While choosing the right fabric, finishing details, and fold does require careful consideration, and take a bit of more time to give it an importance. After all, it’s the little details that make all the difference.

Seersucker is a fabric steeped in rich mythology, with one of its most enduring stories being its etymology. The word “seersucker” comes from the Hindi words shîr (milk) and shakar (sugar), which refer to the fabric’s characteristic texture—smooth in some places and bumpy in others. Like many classic menswear fabrics, seersucker traces its origins to India, specifically during the British Raj, when it first attracted Western attention. After making its way to the United States, it became a favorite in the American South for its ability to keep the wearer cool in hot weather. Today, seersucker is offered in over 30 different patterns, ranging from the traditional blue-and-white stripes to bold windowpane designs and contemporary solids. Whatever form your seersucker takes, it’s important to remember that the fabric’s charm lies in its relaxed nature. Whether you’re dressing it up for a wedding or wearing it casually to a racetrack, seersucker is best enjoyed when you embrace its easygoing spirit.

How to Make Your Suit Last Longer You’ve finally invested in a quality suit, and you want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. Here are some tips. CLEANING Only clean your suit when it is physically dirty or stinky – meaning you’ve spilled something on it, or you sweat through it. Most suits are dry-clean-only, and you never want to over dry-clean a garment. Dry cleaning is a chemical wash that can wear down the fabric if you do it too often. Think of it like dipping the garment in a chemical that “scrapes away” the very surface layer of the fabric. Eventually the fibers begin to weaken. If your suit just needs a “refresher”, just have it professionally pressed. This is cheaper than dry-cleaning, and the heat and steam will kill most of the bacteria and clean it sufficiently in most cases. I have several suits that are a few years old that I have never dry cleaned. IRONING/STEAMING It’s a good idea to steam your suit before or after each wear. This brings it back to its natural state, and natural ‘hang”. This can be as simple as hanging it in the bathroom while you take a hot shower (pro tip). If you’re going to iron your suit yourself, make sure to use a pressing cloth (a piece of fabric, usually cotton, between the hot metal of the iron and the fabric of the suit). If you hit the fabric directly with an iron that is too hot, you risk “scorching” the fabric (making it shiny)…which is basically impossible to reverse. STORING After you take your suit off, always hang it up immediately. Don’t throw it in the hamper. Don’t toss it on the ground. Don’t throw it over a chair. Hang it on a proper hanger, with a pant bar and a full shoulder. This will allow it to return to its natural shape, dry out any moisture shape, and ultimately help it last longer. If you’re storing it long-term (ie. seasonally) keep it in a protective garment bag (or plastic cover) with a cedar hanger to keep the moths away. GIVE IT A BREAK Try not to wear a suit two days in a row. Like a pair of shoes, it’s a good idea to allow the garment to fully dry-out and catch its breath. Even a workhorse needs a break to perform its best. PACKING/TRAVELING Traveling? See our post on how to fold and pack a suit (and shirt) properly. Even better; get yourself a proper suit bag. ALTERING If you change weight/shape and the suit is not fitting as well as it could, consider getting it altered. A properly adjusted fit doesn’t just look and feel good, it also helps a garment last longer. An ill fitting garment can “pull” awkwardly on the fabric with movement, causing strain. Strain can lead to tears. FIXING TEARS If it rips on a seam, no problem, just have your local tailor/seamstress re-sew it together. It if rips off a seam, you might be in trouble. There are fabric “re-weavers” who can sometimes do miracles and are worth reaching out to, but best case scenario you will be left with a scar on the fabric wear the tear was.

To pleat or not to pleat, that is the question. The question on pleated vs flat front when choosing dress pants demands an answer. Learning the differences between the two common dress pant styles will give you a sartorial advantage against the uninitiated. Plus, it will prevent you from committing a style blunder in public. Let’s explore more. Dress Pants Style In the early 2000s’, loose was out and skinny was in. Slim silhouettes were the shape of choice, and with them came flat-front pants and slimmed down legs that lead into the modern ‘no break’ hem. The slim-fit flat-front camp or the loose-cut pleated camp? The truth is, the fashion experts would like to have it both ways and tell you to keep up with the times and buy what’s “on-trend”. What Is The Purpose Of Pleats? Aside from aesthetic differences, pleated dress pants possess some functional utility that sets them apart from flat front options. When you sit, your seat (also known as your ass) and thighs naturally widen. Pleated dress pants can better adapt to this change as the pleats spread to ease the stress on seams and improve your overall comfort. Pleats also give you extra room and greater freedom of movement when you’re walking, crouching, taking the stairs or dancing the night away at a wedding all while knowing you won’t bust a seam. Choosing Pleated Dress Pants Pleated dress pants are all about comfort, roominess, and flexibility.They’re great for active occasions that call for more movement or say if you have a long commute. Pleated pants are also the best choice for larger men and athletic types with muscular legs, both of whom stand to benefit from the spaciousness and comfortable utility that pleats provide. From the style side, pleated dress pants are a more traditional look. However, if the fit of the rest of the pants is just right, they can feel like a dapper nod to the menswear greats of decades past. We recommend choosing the pleated pants option if you value comfort > modern style, and if you have a little more ‘junk in the trunk’. Choosing Flat Front Dress Pants Flat front dress pants prioritize style over function. Due to their tighter and slimmer cut, they are most flattering on slimmer and average body types. Since you won’t have the benefit of the pleats to help smooth out any tight situations, make sure you pay extra attention to getting the fit of your pants just right.  Where perception is concerned, flat front dress pants have come to be the preferred look in recent decades thanks to the tapered, slim trend that has continued. That said, we think having a clean silhouette is always going to be a timeless look and even if pleats enjoy a renaissance someday, you’re not going to look sloppy when your pants fit well and look clean. So unless you need the pleats for comfort, we’d recommend flat front to most gents in most situations.

How long should my suit jacket sleeves be? And how much shirt cuff should be shown? Your Suit sleeve should end right above the top of your wrist bone (or the hinge of your wrist). In order to show the right amount of dress shirt cuff, the sleeve length must be perfect first. A properly fitting shirt sleeve should end at the base of your hand. Once these two are properly fitted, you’ll notice that naturally, some shirt sleeve cuff will show. The general rule of thumb is that you want to show 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of shirt cuff. Not showing any shirt cuff or showing too much of shirt cuff is a SIGN that the suit does not fit right or perfectly. It ruins the power of a fitting suit. It is a minor detail for some but for sartorialist like us it matters a lot. It is a detail if perfected will enhance the whole image. Suit Sleeves And Watches If you wear a watch, especially a larger-faced watch,  make sure you leave enough space under your cuff to accommodate the typical watch you would wear with that shirt. A shirt cuff should be able to go over and cover some of your watch when your arms are relaxed at your sides. We always make our shirts with bigger left cuff compared to right.

Suit pant breaks (how your pant legs meet your dress shoes and the kind of shapes that form) are mainly a matter of personal preference. That being said, the wrong dress pants break won’t flatter your body type, might not make the statement you think it does, and may not be appropriate for the environment or occasion. The biggest mistake is failing to make an intentional choice. If dress pant breaks are tripping you up, here’s what you need to know. What is The Pant Break? The “break” of the pant is the fold or creasing of fabric that forms at the front of your pant leg, just above where it meets your shoe, while you’re standing. An easier way to think about it is that the pant break is the point where the suit pants break its silhouette against the shoe. Note that the break is defined at the standing position and not while you’re walking, seated or doing squats. The cut of your suit pants, both the length and width (the circumference) of your pant legs, affect how generous or slight your pant break will be. Generally speaking, longer pants = more break. While that one’s a no brainer, wider pants = less break. That’s because the wider the circumference of your leg opening, the harder it will be for the pant fabric to make contact with your dress shoes, and so your break will be less defined. Slimmer leg openings, on the other hand, will hit your shoes earlier, which means they will form a break at a higher point and more readily. All this is to remind you that if you like wearing slimmer pants, the pant legs may need to be a bit shorter to accommodate your preferred break. More on that below. No Break Pants Pants with no breaks work best with pants that are slim and tapered so that the pant opening isn’t too wide. You won’t want to walk and have wide leg openings sashaying back and forth as you stride. Pant hem just reaches but does not rest on the top of the dress shoe Better with slim, tapered pants The modern look that gives off a youthful trendy vibe Easier to pull off for slimmer and/or taller gents Half Break Pants Given its versatility, the half break look can work with both slimmer pants and those that are less tapered and more straight leg. Men who are shorter will benefit in particular from a combination of a slimmer fit and the slightly longer length, which can help create an elongating visual effect. Get the fit right on the rest of the pants (we always suggest bespoke) and a half break will look clean, polished and classically well-dressed on just about everyone. Pant hem makes solid contact with the front of the shoe and forms a slightly visible wrinkle Works with slimmer and straight leg pants A versatile option that works in any context Works for men of any build or height but particularly effective for shorter gents Full Break Pants In addition, with the longer pant length involved and the fact that this look is most often paired with a less tapered pant leg, this look will often be the best option for men who are heavier set. Pant hem forms a single, generous but elegant wrinkle above where it meets the shoe, often covering most of the shoelaces Found on straight-leg, less tapered pants The most conservative choice that is always office-appropriate Works particularly well for heavier-set gents
