Autumn is the time for new textures to grace suits and odd jackets, like these bird and foliage patterned pocket squares. At 16 ½” (42 cm) in each direction they are large enough to stand up without being too bulky, so their hand rolled edges display properly in the pocket. A mixture of 70% wool with 30% silk added to the weave to catch the light, they would usually be paired with flannels and tweeds though some men might use them to add a touch of sprezzatura to worsteds. 
Choose tans, brown and light blues on a navy ground with a dark green border for gray or brown suits and odd jackets, or blues, greens and brown on a rust ground with a leaf green border for navy jackets and suits.
And that is the fall pocket square.

Lovely Pochettes, Will. Where could one get his hands on one of them?
What beautiful, rich and versatile PS! Some of the best I’ve ever seen. Little works of art. Thanks for showing them to us.
Didn't want to be too commercial today - I have them. I am hoping the site will be up next week but email me for now if interested.
Very beautiful "dead bird" squares Will. The ability of that combination of wool and silk to take color really is wonderful.
Thanks for the look.
Lovely tapestry looking autumn pocket squares. I also think paisley looks rather autumnal, especially in muted sunset tones of burgundy, lilac and orange.
