Want One: Hankie Pocketbook

Do you occasionally like to rock a well-tailored suit? (Who doesn’t?) But do you often feel like something is missing from your otherwise perfect ensemble? Do you wish you had something that would just make you stand out as the classy male that you are?

Nothing screams class quite like the pocket square. An entire suit can be transformed by the addition of this small silk square. Not only does it give the impression of a trust fund and some large holiday estate in Monte Carlo, it also makes you look dashing and suggests that you are an incredibly fashion-forward gentleman.

The pocket square has associations with Cary Grant, who favoured his with one slant facing towards his face (the rebel) and Fred Astaire, who is the inventor of the quirky ‘puff fold.’

If you like to step out in a suit from time to time, you’re also probably aware that keeping any additional items on yourself is a bit annoying, especially when you’re suited up. If only someone had gone to the trouble of making a pocket square that could also double as something else?

Enter the Hankie Pocketbook – the notebook that you can keep in that little pocket where your pocket square should go. Check this out:

Yes, not only will the Hankie Pocketbook make you look like a debonair squire from the days of old, it will also come in handy when rich businessmen start trying to network with you at events (or when women start throwing their phone numbers at you, you handsome devil).

The Hankie Pocketbook comes in a variety of colours, so you can pick the right one to offset your smooth, suave dress sense. Check out these options: polka-dot, red, black and white. The top of the notebook is shaped into a classic pocket square fold, so it looks exactly like a small silk square when carried in the breast pocket of your suit.

It contains 60 pages, which will be essential for all the networking and flirting you’ll get roped into when you’re rocking this bad boy. And the best thing? It has a very modest €8. Sure you’d be mad not to pick up a couple at that price.

Embrace the power of the suit and the magnetising properties of the pocket square. As Barney Stinson would say, there’s never been a better time to SUIT UP!
