there are quite a few places that one can look for some nice cotton/silk PS now... especially in Robinsons, Aquascutum, Brooks Brothers etc. even My Tie Shop has some micro fiber ones.

Lanatir, the silk PS how do you launder them?

u can either treat them like silk ties and send them to the laundry for professional cleaning (kinda expensive if u got many) or handwash them gently in mild soap and air dry (lightly squeezing out the water and not wringing them violently).

how many braces do u guys have? i've got only one so far (plain black one - dual clip double ups). thinking of getting a grey one.

Have none. But will never put on clip-on suspenders. Buttons all the way.

EDIT - Pictures or ...

Btw i didnt mention that mine are buttoned to my pants. (I removed the clips as the pants that i use with braces have buttons sewn in)... Bcos i knew one of u will come here and advocate buttons only.

a really cute lapel pin i got recently

I knew i seen that wheel somewhere. Its a watch gear. The company name on it is a watch company. But it quite obscure here compared to the other high end brands.

nice spot

anyway sattler is actually a german clock maker. they make really impressive clocks and even have DIY kits for basic clock sets.

It's an escapement wheel

are we able to attain this in brooks brothers malaysia?

It is so difficult to find pocket squares. Robinsons at Gardens doesn't have them. Mytieshop only has synthetic ones; I bought a white poly PS there on a whim. There are 5 in various solid shades of green at Metrojaya Mid Valley and a solid black. None at Isetan. That's strange, because braces can be found everywhere. I can't even find a plain linen PS, and instead had to have a cotton handkerchief cut down to size and rehemmed by my alterations tailor.

I had a look at ebay and just bought these two.

Recently I bought a couple of cotton pocket squares and hand-rolled the edges myself.

I kept thinking of going to Binwani's, buy a little linen and magnificent silks, and making them myself. Alas, I am unconvinced of my own ability.

Whatever your abilities, it will look perfect in your breast pocket. Take my word for it.

You are right. Nobody will see the hem.

Indeed. Once I put a piece of ragged cloth cut from an old purple gingham shirt. They said it looks awesome.
