Our Sam Hober Pocket Squares

 

Custom Made / Bespoke Pocket Squares We are making pocket squares because we simply love the look.

David started like most men using a traditional white cotton pocket square in a double or triple peak fold. Later he began wearing silk pocket squares in the more fluffy "puff" style.

Our Sangdao handwoven Thai silk pocket squares are artisanally made with our own handwoven 100% Thai silk that we weave in Thailand. We also use Atkinsons Irish poplin, linen, cotton and wool for our pocket squares. We hand sew our pocket squares in very limited numbers. The hand-rolled edges are crafted with loving care and are very tightly rolled.

Our pocket squares are made with edges that are tightly rolled by hand with between 4 to 6 stitches per inch depending on the silk and style of pocket square. Unlike most ordinary pocket squares which are made quickly with very loose stitching.

When we sew the edges of our pocket squares we often stop, and examine both the roll and the pocket square's overall proportions. If we see something that is not perfect we take apart the pocket square and start over again. You will not find pocket squares like ours anywhere else in the world.

Our iridescent shot silk is very bright and lustrous, perfect for that dark wool suit. Our trademark mudmee pocket squares are unique, and not found anywhere else. The patterns in our mudmee silk are made by repeatedly tying and dyeing the silk yarn. Before weaving, the yarn looks like a multicolored barcode. The yarn is then woven by hand on wooden looms into traditional patterns.

Pocket squares made with handwoven Thai silk have an added advantage in that the texture of Thai silk helps to keep pocket squares in place, which eliminates the problem of pocket squares slipping in a jacket pocket.

Our standard size Thai silk pocket squares are between 12 to 16 inches square depending on the thickness of the silk. Please keep in mind that our Thai silk pocket squares are typically a thicker, heavier, more luxurious silk than what you will find in a store.

We can custom make bespoke pocket squares in the size of your choice from your pick of 100s of different fabrics including English printed and woven silks for the sartorially adventurous. On occasion we will even use Atkinsons Irish poplin to make pocket squares.
