About the RMRS Pocket Square Collection

What set's the well dressed man apart is not the cost of his clothes but proper fit, understanding proportion, and knowing how to accessorize. To help you with the later, we consulted with menswear expert Antonio Centeno to create 10 classic pocket squares that will help accessorize all your favorite suits, sports coats, and blazers. A new pocket square will be released every few weeks.

The History of the Modern Pocket Square

Did you know that the accessory known as a men's pocket square originated during the 1920s? Men used to place a white linen or cotton pocket square into their jacket's breast pocket less for aesthetic than for practical reasons. The pocket square was simply a white handkerchief that was kept in the breast pocket to keep it clean. Once used, it would end up in the inner pocket of the suit.

Then in 1924 Kleenex invented the disposable paper handkerchief making the use of a cotton or linen hanky much less popular. While men started transitioning to use the paper Kleenex, the look of keeping a neatly folded pocket square in the breast pocket remained. Nowadays pocket squares are solely worn for aesthetic reasons. They allow us to add color, contrast, pattern, and texture to any jacket.
