The two more common types of linen pocket squares for warm weather are white with a colored edge and colored with a white edge. I prefer the latter style, and the best of these in my opinion are the Alma line from Simonnot-Godard.
Simonnot-Godard has been weaving the highest quality cotton and linen on eighteenth century looms since, well, 1787. Beautiful stuff.
Find them at Alan Flusser, Paul Stuart and The Andover Shop in the United States, Turnbull & Asser in London and Arnys, Marc Guyot and Lanvin in Paris. Or, contact the company's showroom in Brussels by telephone at +32 2 742 01 04.

You are right. This resource is the ultimate in good taste and quality.
Well done pointing this out.
Bergdorf Goodman sometimes also has a (small?) selection of Simmonot-Godard pochettes. I bought a nice yellow and white striped linen there two years ago.
I know Benjamin personally and I have been in his showroom in Brussels. He is a very nice guy and his pocket squares, although the design is too classical, are very high quality. He sells most of his pocket squares in Asia but he is also very popular in Spain and in Europe. T&A in London also sells them.
Regards from Budapest (I just got two pairs of Laszlo Vass RTW and now it is time to celebrate it).
Wait a minute! The edges don't look hand-rolled to me!
Looked for these at Paul Stuart in NYC today, but couldn't find any. Hope they will have them soon.
Are there instructions for folding a pocket square? The elegantly casual stuffing of a pochette into the pocket is easy enough. How about the three, sharp points, or razor sharp white line?
