Manhattan Cocktail Hand Embroidered Linen Pocket Square

The Manhattan Metropolitan

This exquisite white pocket square, woven from premium Italian linen, boasts a sophisticated hand-embroidered depiction of the classic Manhattan cocktail. The Manhattan, with its rich history and deep, complex flavors, has long been the hallmark of refined urbanity and suave confidence. Our pocket square nods to this storied drink with an embroidery that mirrors the elegance and depth of a perfectly mixed Manhattan.

Adorning your suit with this pocket square brings a touch of cosmopolitan flair to any outfit. The embroidered Manhattan, characterized by its iconic glass shape and cherry garnish, serves as a focal point of cultured taste. To complement the embroidery’s rich hues, attire in shades of burgundy, chocolate brown, or sleek black will provide a striking backdrop, allowing the intricate details to shine.

How We Craft a Manhattan

To concoct a timeless Manhattan, stir together 50 mL of rye whiskey, 20 mL of sweet vermouth, and a dash of Angostura bitters over ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry, embracing the full sophistication of this legendary beverage.

How to Style This Pocket Square

Utilizing unique and interesting folds imparts greater versatility, as well as debonair elegance, to your pocket square. Ensuring that your folds appear natural and unaffected will not only look more charming and nonchalant, but it will also be evident to others that you are not wearing a cheap, pre-folded pocket square.

For this particular pocket square, to accentuate the intricate embroidered cocktail detailing, we suggest that you opt for a fold that brings attention to its corner, such as the crown fold. Conversely, if you wish to draw focus to the white body of the pocket square, the puff fold is the ideal choice. Employing these folds allows the pocket square to serve a dual purpose, offering the versatility of two accessories in one.

While this pocket square can always be folded in such a way as to obscure the embroidered detailing, we consider this a disservice to the absolutely astounding attention to detail and craft illustrated by this embroidered cocktail. As a colorful accent, this cocktail embroidery provides unexpected visual interest and an impressive palette of colors with which to coordinate your entire outfit. It also provides a touch of whimsy to any fun ensemble that is sure to spark many delightful conversations, from a sport coat up to a velvet dinner jacket!

The Fabric of Pharaohs: Linen

Linen has been a mainstay of classic menswear for years and employed generally since the time of the ancient Egyptians, being valued for its unique texture, breathability, and soft hand. Fort Belvedere sources the linen for all of our accessories from a heritage Italian mill specializing in producing only the finest examples of this versatile and refined fabric.

Italian linen is crafted to withstand time, making it a durable fabric that can last for years, even with frequent use. With its natural sheen and ability to drape beautifully, Italian linen exudes an air of sophistication and refinement that enhances any setting.

Linen is also an environmentally friendly choice; being a natural fiber, it is biodegradable. Also, the flax plant, from which linen is made, requires less water than other crops to cultivate.

Contrary to common belief, linen is relatively easy to care for, being able to withstand spot cleaning as needed and requiring only a quick iron or steam to quickly eliminate wrinkles.

Care

Cleaning

To protect its hand-rolled edges, we recommend that you not fully immerse your pocket square in water to clean it. Instead, create a solution of tepid water and mild detergent and carefully spot clean any stains.

Should your pocket square require more thorough cleaning, you can take it to a dry cleaner that specializes in handling delicate accessories. Remind them to be careful when cleaning around the handrolled edges.

Storage

Because it is so lightweight, linen as a fabric is naturally very prone to wrinkling. To reduce unnecessary wrinkling, always remove your linen pocket square from your pocket after wearing it.

Lay it flat in a cool, dry location for a few hours to allow the material to naturally relax and to avoid setting in any wrinkles or creases.

Removing Wrinkles

To remove wrinkles, use a garment steamer set to hot to work out the wrinkles. You can also use an iron set to the Linen setting with a piece of cotton cloth between the linen and the iron.

Lightly sprinkling the underside of the pocket square with water will help relax wrinkles more quickly.

Be sure to only iron the center of the pocket square and do not run your iron over the edges, as it could ruin the effect of the hand-rolled edges by flattening them.
