Product Insights
This 63% cotton, 37% silk pocket square from Le 31's exclusive Italian-made collection offers a matte finish with weave texture that holds crisp edges and stays in pocket for both sharp flat and relaxed puff folds, while the silk-cotton blend absorbs moisture yet remains breathable in warm weather. As a solid beige 13-inch square, it makes fold technique the visual accent, suiting sport coats and business-casual attire rather than formal occasions, all at $49 CAD—half the price of comparable Suitsupply options.
- Fold behavior
Blend holds crisp edges, stays in pocket, works for sharp and puff folds.
Why this is supported
The blend's cotton body provides the stiffness needed for crisp folds, as one source notes:
Cotton’s relative stiffness makes it easy to fold and achieve crisp edges if desired.
jkentltd.comAt the same time, the silk element allows flowing shapes:
Silk is the go-to for puff folds and any style where you want the fabric to flow rather than hold a rigid shape.
hockerty.chThe same blend also proves beginner-friendly, since
Cotton sits between silk and linen in terms of stiffness. It holds folds reasonably well, has a matte finish, and is the most forgiving fabric for beginners still learning their folds.
hockerty.chFinally, the cotton content provides enough friction:
- Moisture comfort
Silk absorbs 30% weight in moisture; cotton breathability keeps it comfortable in warm weather.
Why this is supported
The blend's moisture-wicking ability comes from the silk's high absorbency and cotton's breathability. Research confirms:
Silk’s ability to absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp combines with cotton’s natural breathability to keep the pocket square comfortable against the chest during summer weddings or hot-weather events

Silk-cotton blended yarns combine the softness, high luster, and luxurious drape of silk with the breathability, strength, and durability of cotton.

- Size and fit
13-inch square fits standard pockets and suits puff, flat, and multi-point folds.
Why this is supported
Style guides confirm the 13-inch square is the pocket-size sweet spot:

makifashion.comFolded in quarters, its 3.25-inch edge
A 12″ or 13″ square folds neatly into this depth without too much extra fabric bunching at the bottom
makifashion.commatching standard 3–4 inch pocket depths. For puff folds,
Puff folds need more volume, so a 13″ to 15″ square is better.
makifashion.comOverall, the 13-inch size avoids the bulk of larger squares while providing ample fabric for all common folds.
The 13-by-13-inch square is designed for fold versatility. Style experts note that this size is ideal for both formal and casual occasions.
When arranged in a Presidential flat fold, the square presents a 3.25-inch edge that matches typical jacket pocket depths of 3 to 4 inches.
