Object of Desire: Thom Browne S/S 2016 Printed Linen Pocket Square

Aside from bow tie and tie, I am also a collector of square pockets. Recently I came across this Thom Browne S/S 2016 pocket square and believe some of my readers may want to purchase it.

The print on this pocket square is the Japanese inspired landscape art that is specific for this season. It has a versatile colour palette and will go well with a lot of suits. Currenlty, you can purchase this item on Mr Porter!

Picture Perfect: Park Hour

What do you do when you have 1 hour in the park and a handful of menswear accessories? Stephen-Thomas and I decide to use the nature setting and do a fun editorial shoot.

Scarf: Mirror in the Sky; Bow tie: Freedom Clothing Collective; Pocket squares: Zebe Design 

For this fun shoot, we use accessories from Canadian brands Zebe Design, Freedom Clothing Collectives, Baffi Collection, Pomp and Ceremony and Barcelona brand Mirror in the Sky. We like how the nature setting brings out the rawness of these accessories and we do like the quality of the products a lot.

Please visit STM to see the spin off of this editorial. It's all about Mirror in the Sky!

Object of Desire: BAFFI Pocket Squares

The modern man needs modern accessories. Let us introduce BAFFI, the fun non-traditional pocket square company from Canada. Made of wood, held in place with a magnet and designed to be worn in multiple ways, the BAFFI pocket square is truly a unique accessory for the dapper gent.

Being a fan of getting the most out of our wardrobes, we took a single sports coat and BAFFI-fied it. Next we mixed and matched in some shirts and ties to produce three distinct looks while touring downtown Toronto and sticking these fun pocket squares just about everywhere!

Calling this nifty little item a square is something of a lie. Designed with a slanted edge on one side, the square has a more traditional look when placed in your pocket. Flip it upside down and let the rounded corner side show for a more contemporary look. Want to be daring? Let the slanted edge go in different directions each time you wear it and this little guy is one versatile wonder.

The BAFFI wooden pocket square comes in a plethora of options. From colourful camo and stripes, to sophisticated paisley and dressy polka dots, to fun loving juicy citrus fruits and one of our favourites, the timeless solid wood Noce, the BAFFI collection has more options than you probably have places to wear them!

Want something a little extra special? BAFFI offers a custom service. Order a customized one just for yourself, get a group of personalized squares for your wedding party or go all out and get corporate squares for your entire office or special event. The sky is the limit with custom BAFFI pocket squares.
