Product Insights
This pocket square, a centenary commemorative exclusive to Simons, is handprinted on silk—possibly from Petronius's 1920s archival rolls—with hand-rolled edges and hand-sewn finishing that give it a soft drape, neat fold, and resistance to pulling or unraveling, while allowing both crisp folds and soft poofs. At the sale price of $49.95, it offers craftsmanship typically found above $100, and its vivid colors stand out against dark jackets. From a third-generation family business with a 1926 heritage that supplies top tailors, it requires dry cleaning to preserve the silk and edges.
