An oatmeal-colored linen handkerchief, made from 100% Irish linen and finished with a narrow rolled hem. This pocket square is suitable for formal occasions where cotton just won't do.
These handkerchiefs are cut to a generous 13 inches square, and come ironed and lightly starched for a luxurious, crisp feel. They will soften naturally with washing and use, but won't fuzz or pill up, and don't fall apart like cotton handkerchiefs eventually will.
It's the little details that count -
Handmade in the U.S., using only the finest Irish linen. The Irish weave the finest linen in the world, with a beautiful texture and strong, long fibers. This means it'll last longer.
Traditionally, only a linen handkerchief could be folded as a pocket square in a suit. The polyester corner sewn to a piece of paper that came with your suit just won't cut it! For slightly less formal occasions than strict black tie, this natural oatmeal color will serve you well.
We can do hand-rolled hems in the oatmeal color, of course. No one has asked for it yet! You can be the first.
Care information
Care information
Linen handkerchiefs may be washed via delicate cycle in a washing machine (no bleach) or for best results, by hand. Iron hot, with steam, on the backside of the work. Any stitches pushed out of place from the iron can gently be prodded back into place. A cotton or mesh laundry bag will help protect your piece from getting snagged.
Temari should not be washed, just dusted if necessary. If needed, you can wet a cloth in hot water and wring it out quite well, and use that to spot-wash. Temari are made of fibers all the way through, so a wash or soak would mean that the inside would never dry.
Our embroidered blankets are made with wool, and should be handwashed gently in cool water.
Goldwork embroidery should only be washed by a professional. Other embroidery is best cleaned as for temari (especially framed hoop work) though wearable accessories may be put through the wash on a gentle cycle or hand washed.
