netmatrix, actually i was thinking to pair these with dressier options after being inspired by some pics in The Rake not much interesting options for socks locally (except some occasional argyles). even the designs at Paul Smith lately aren't inspiring (not to mention overpriced).

malutapimau, u should check out the online store. lots of options and some really really nice ones (but some a bit too much to pay for socks). had to hold myself back before the bill came up to some insane amount. the package deals are good.

as for the combos, i'll try to. it's going to be difficult to take a full body self-shot.

the socks are generally going to be kept hidden under wool/cotton pants (mostly grey/blue/khaki) to be paired with jacket/shirt/tie/pocket square options.

the corgi ones are really nice...

I also like the range of Pringles, Falke, Burlingtons.

Lots of options for knee high socks as well.

I agree to this. I don't think those rainbows would work with dressy stuff anyway. hahaha. Would be cute as a weekend wear.

now i gotta find other items to match these colours

Pocket squares with matching colours! Now I have never tried pairing pockets squares with odd socks but kind of tempted to venture into it since it seems interesting.

i will try to complement rather than outright match the colours... should be a fun journey!

Definitely. Matching ps to ties and whatnot sure can become a boring affair after some time. Now pair them with odd socks, that would be fresh and letting both accessories peeking out a little from a suit will surely create a subtle but yet fun statement.

its 100% silk

from Hermes

What's that supposed to be? A tie?

hmmp its a scarf but the sales assistant fold it hermes way or i dunno lol the sales assistant say thats how hermes men fold it ... so i never unfold it because i dont know how to fold it back

I initially thought it was a penis sock.

Added on July 7, 2010, 2:53 pmI've always wanted a very well executed plain white linen pocket square. However, I find it psychologically painful to have to pay the sort of prices vendors were asking for them. RM60 for a hanky? Sorry, I cannot do it.

So I looked beyond the usual suspects and turned to ... ebay. Snapped up a set of 2 vintage Irish linen hankies from the days when kleenex hasn't yet been invented and people actually used this stuff daily.

The quality is awesome. Such fine cloth. The seller's pictures do not do it justice.



Also, the edge finishing is more interesting than the ubiquitous rolled edge.

I found some interesting pictures of how to store pocket squares.





I think its a transparent filing folder. Great idea.

I'm abit cautious when it comes to buying used hankies... have they been used to wipe irish snot?

they're new
