In today's video, I show you step by step my 8 favorite ways to fold a pocket square so you look effortlessly elegant.
00:00 Introduction
Honestly, pocket squares are one of my favorite accessories and I hardly ever leave the house without one, except maybe if you have a jacket with a big boutonniere and another pocket square will just throw everything off balance visually.
Many pocket squares are just plain or have the same pattern, some other pocket squares can be folded in many different ways, I sometimes call them three-in-one pocket squares because you can wear it this way or that way or just combined the look.
Now, before I show you step-by-step how to fold a pocket square, I want you to keep two things in mind; one is different pocket squares have different sizes and sometimes, they're too big, sometimes they're too small, and they disappear in your pocket but ideally, you want something that works perfectly for your chest pocket.
Now, at Fort Belvedere, we're a firm believer in producing pocket squares that make you look your best and that means every material has a different size because no two textures, stiffnesses, and weights are the same. Likewise, just with a self-tied bow tie, you never want your pocket square to look like it's folded too perfectly, too neatly, or too symmetrically. Why? Because if you want to strive for a nonchalant elegance that just looks like you put it there and it fell into place and not like someone who actually ironed a pocket square because that makes it look like a pre-folded one and that's never stylish.

I love wearing my Ft. Belvedere linen pocket squares. The quality is great and they stay in place all day long. I do cut the green tag off of them, but when people ask where I got my pocket squares, I always point them to your website (I also have your white boutonniere too). Great video!

Yes, cutting of the tags make sense. Glad to hear you like them.

Well done, Sven! When I worked at the Hotel Vierjahreszeiten in Hamburg in the 1980s, all of us who worked at the front desk had to do your "pinch" method and we had to line up to make sure we had did it right. Thanks for taking me down memory lane again....cheers!
I just bought my first pocket square. I cannot wait to wear it. :)
This came just in time to pick up my day. Couldn't sleep last night because I didn't know how to fold my pocket square.
This is a great way for me to look classy tommorow, on my birthday. Thank you for the tutorial!

I just bought 2 new sport coats and I can’t wait to see how they pair with a pocket square! I love the nonchalant look of the shell folds 👍

Thanks. Wore my 3piece charcoal Grey suit first time today and did the I think it's called plume. Was a bit large for this, but I'm learning. This video will help
I know what handkerchiefs are used for but I will watch a movie and see someone gentlemanly hand their handkerchief to someone crying and Im sitting there thinking YOUR GETTING YOUR PIECE OF FASHION NASTY WITH TEARS AND SNOT WHAT ARE YOU DOIIING
Excellent video - thank you! Minor feedback: Time stamps would be fantastic. Overall very helpful and easy to follow. Again, thank you.
I waited my whole life for this video! 👍🏻

I have to confess that I made frequent use of the stair fold when I first started wearing pocket squares, going so far as to fixing them permanently in shape using safety pins - never again! I usually wear linen pocket squares with a tv or triangle fold, I'm looking forward to trying out the shell fold with silk.
Fantastic, Sven, thank you. Going to have to watch this several times to get things just right!
I once bought a 1999 Ritzenhoff champagne glass which came with a cotton square with Empire State Buildings in a solar look in it and because traditional looks, such as Scallop and Rose didn't give enough yellow and black (the square is mostly white except for the middle, which is black and yellow), so I invented my own; the Tavastian Parachute. Here's how you do it. 1. Contrary to the Rose, you don't fold the corners to the middle, you fold them halfway from that, so only the edges are folded while making an X-shape. 2. Take hold of the tips of the corners and form the square itself into a gentle ball with the square's outside on the visible part, like the look of a tortoise shell. It should have a hooded look with the outer printed images visible. 3. Put it into your pocket with the tips facing downwards and the hood visible upwards on your pocket. Remember to gently lift it a bit, so it can have a bit of a ruffled and open parachute-like look.
I really like all of your videos, I have learned soooo much.... and I love me some Saxophone....... but that theme song reminds me of finger nails on a chalk board. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Great video!!! Love ❤️ my pocket squares. It makes your outfit super great. A gentleman always wear a pocket square. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️😀
Always, excellent teaching. Its the little things, that matter in Mens wardrobe.
Wow the reverse puff looks really nice. Maybe i'll even find a piece with a yellow center so its like a flower ^^ would really freshen up a Look :)
Ive been getting into making my own pocket squares, this video is perfect!
8 superlative ways of doing stuff without great effort. thanks!
Thank you my friend, I owe you.
This video comes in a good time. Just in time for my sister wedding dinner
I don't know why but I find it amusing that you gave yourself a tick every time you showed us a fold. I generally assumed that you'd be showing us the correct method each time you introduce it haha
Would it be possible for you to do a review of the LG Styler or another type of steam closet? I am interested in wheter Gentleman's Gazette would recommend it
Thanks Lord.
A true gentleman wouldn't wear a pochette in any any other way but putting it in a "random" shape in the pocket.
Ooooooooo.. .. I like that shell fold!!!
Great video!
You have a different voice when doing the folding instructions than your normal, upbeat, on-screen persona! That was interesting to hear.
Been waiting for this one! I'll be revisiting for sure.
Can you please do a video on fair isle?? •Very nice video well done again GG crew 👍👍🧥👔
15:19 your pocket is ripped, need to stitch that up!
What I would like to know is when do we get the "Advanced folds" video? Or 8 more options!??!!
Simply amazing
love this video. thanks guys
A very informative vid Raphael & that's how to sell pocket squares 👍
HAPPY 1 MILLION
Buen vídeo!, muy muy interesante!!, mi más sincera enhorabuena 🎊
The crown method should be renamed the "Roger Sterling"
Have been waiting for this one
So many great ideas, thanks!!!
Best way as Prince of Wales. But do'nt know exactly how can make it so perfect but whithout seeing it exactly perfect. Believe is one you show but do not which one as you do it so quickly or don't know how you can see it repeat without going throuhg all of the different style. And also like the completly straight one without seen andy edges.
I have perfected the fold I call “A rabbit sticking one ear out of my pocket.” 🥴
Top drawer advice
Another great vid. Thanks
great video. enjoyed it!
Sven, good video, amazing jacket.
The next video they should do is Sven showing his different suits
Fantastic content!
Hi, how would you go about washing or removing stains from a white linen pocket square??
Thank you sir thank you 💯💯💯👌🏾
Do I own any pocket squares? No. Does my jacket look more fabulous after practicing these folds with a paper tissue? Absolutely! Will I go out like this? Maybe (absolutely not)
I see suit on TV 2024 and no pocket square. Are they still used same as before?
Just watched the original vid: night and day.
The tags drive me a little crazy. I understand that they need to be along the edge. Have you considered having the tag on the edge but not in the corner. That would help me. Thanks
Meu terno tem o bolso bem ralo... sem profundidade nenhuma; não dá pra colocar o lenço nele. O que você recomenda nesse caso? Tem como eu pedir pra fzer um bolso?
Hello. One question. Is it ok to use a white pocket square and a blue shirt? I 've listen diferents opinions on that. Thanks and congratulations for the channel.
Make a video on clothing for sailing please.

I usually use the Crown fold myself.
What does everyone think the best size square is ?
Nice
Can someone tell me what material that jacket is he's wearing is. Its one of my favorites but cant find its name for the life of me.

When I first saw pocket squares, I thought they were tissues for men to cry on.

most human males gouge out their tear ducts as children, so they can't physically cry. The pocket square evolved as a way for human males to attract a mate by showing a potential "sensitive side" which was believed to be more attractive to the females of their species. At least that's what I remember from my textbooks in beetle school.

Year late and unsure if this is relevant, but as a college student budget is very low for me. I research brands and what they do different from one another THEN I go to thrift stores in well off areas. A couple pairs (Bostonian impressions and dockers) and 3 NICE shirts for a total around 42 bucks and change!
Nice video sir, but I believe the edge of your pocket has come undone! May need to have that fixed
Nice Tequila 1800 on your wine trolley :) I do love that too.
Hermes pocket squares are amazing. They have an orange and electric blue one with, what looks like, a mandelbrot set pattern on

I own over 100. I would never wear a jacket without one.
There is only one right way: square
how about the pocket square shown in the 1932 movie Scarface?
The first one with the red thread looks like a dustcloth, not a pocket square.

Great folds unfortunately the teaching method is not great. Too fast and not too visible as to where to make some folds
