This is a 100% silk twill pocket square in a red, white, and blue plaid pattern, finished with an Italian-rolled hem — handmade in Mississippi, USA by Gilberti Silk Arts.
Plaid is one of the oldest languages in menswear. This one speaks it fluently — a classic tartan-inspired grid in red, white, and blue, printed on 100% silk twill and finished with an Italian-rolled hem that gives the edge a structure and weight you can feel.
The Italian roll is a hand-finishing technique that creates a slightly thicker, sculpted border — more refined than a standard hem, more intentional. It holds the fold cleanly in the pocket and catches light with a quiet definition that rewards anyone who looks closely.
The red, white, and blue palette makes this a natural choice for patriotic occasions — Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day — while staying well within the territory of classic menswear. Paired with a navy suit or white dress shirt, it reads as confidence, not costume. It ships worldwide, arriving in a keepsake gift box ready to give.

Q: What size is this pocket square?
A: It measures approximately 12" x 12", which is the standard size for men's suit and blazer breast pockets.
Q: What is an Italian-rolled hem?
A: An Italian-rolled hem is a hand-finishing technique where the edge of the silk is rolled and sewn to create a slightly thicker, more structured border than a standard hand-rolled hem. The result is an edge that holds its shape, catches light with subtle definition, and signals true artisan craftsmanship to anyone who looks closely.
Q: How do I fold a pocket square?
A: The three most popular folds for this square are the flat fold (clean and minimal), the one-point fold (classic and sharp), and the puff fold (relaxed and editorial). A full illustrated folding guide is available at gilbertisilkarts.com.
Q: Is this pocket square made from real silk?
A: Yes. It is crafted from 100% silk twill — a mid-weight weave that holds its shape beautifully in the pocket and has a subtle, luxurious sheen.
Q: How do I care for a silk pocket square?
A: Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry. Do not wring or machine wash. Warm iron to de-wrinkle if necessary.
Q: Does it come gift-ready?
A: Yes. Every Gilberti Silk Arts pocket square ships in a keepsake gift box with a ribbon and crown charm — no additional wrapping needed. It arrives ready to give for birthdays, Father's Day, anniversaries, weddings, or any occasion. We ship worldwide.
Q: What occasions does this plaid work for?
A: The red, white, and blue palette makes it a natural for patriotic occasions — Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day — while the plaid pattern keeps it squarely in classic menswear territory year-round. It pairs well with a navy suit, gray blazer, or white dress shirt, and works for weddings, boardroom dressing, and summer events alike.
Q: Is this a good groomsmen gift?
A: Absolutely. A silk pocket square is a classic, wearable keepsake that groomsmen actually keep and use long after the wedding day. The red, white, and blue plaid works especially well for patriotic or Americana-themed weddings. For wedding parties, we offer special orders — please reach out directly so we can coordinate. Special orders typically take about 4 weeks for turnaround.
Q: Is this handmade in the United States?
A: Yes. Each pocket square is hand-finished with an Italian-rolled hem in Mississippi by Gilberti Silk Arts — a small, woman-owned luxury accessories brand rooted in the American South.
