      It's not fake, it's just stitched shut. Most suits do that, because if you use the pocket for anything but a pocket square, it messes with the structure of the garment

    I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer as of 2010, now working protective operations in corporate security so I now wear a white shirt with a suit and tie to work, with my tools of the trade now concealed. Two years ago, my wife and son bought me some dress ties for Christmas that came with pocket squares. I have enjoyed your channel and learning how to fold sharp looking pocket squares, thank you. I have received many compliments on my pocket squares thanks to you... I started to feel naked when I wore an older tie that didn't have a square so I went out and bought 10 additional squares that complimented my old ties. I now have over 40 squares... I'm and addict... Thanks again Patrick... :)

      +TheRealistFan I use solid colours on purpose for my videos, but I'll wear just about anything as long as it looks good. If it has too much pattern like a paisley design I stick to puff folds or rose/flower type of ways to wear them. Less pattern brings me back to a flat or three stairs.
