How to Stuff a Linen Pocket Square

I must say, it's strange that you actually have a voice. I'm just saying.
I'm wondering if my pockets are too small, as it always appears that I have some sort of bird escaping from my pocket when I go point sides up. I put it in the reverse way; however, do not have the tv fold. I'll have to follow your instructions and see where it leads.
What a wonderful idea, the video. Great to see you come to life. Enjoyed the tutorial, as well.

I love the video, Will! Definitely do more of these in the future....they are a nice addition to your site.
Brilliant stuff!

Hello Will. As Turling says, somehow you never had a voice (in my head). Now you do. I like it. Thanks.
I do it exactly like you do Will. My linen squares are a bit small so they are easier to stuff in the pocket. It is harder to do it while you jacket is on. Good Job! How many takes did it actually require?
The speaking is the challenge, not the stuffing.
Enjoyed the video, Will. Please do more. I am curious as to whether you believe one should stuff non-linen pocket squares differently.
Another vote of praise for the video and for more to, hopefully, come. Thanks Will!
Hey Will,
I really loved the video. I vote for more of them!
The ending was abrupt but great stuff anyway.
Get a wireless body mike instead of using the mike on the camera for better sound quality. You can get one fairly cheap or spend as much as you want. Easy way to make a more professional video.
It's not just the voice, it's the movement. As a static picture, you're a different person. I like the life. The pictures are too posed and cardboard. This is much more human.
Loved the video! I look forward to more of them.
Will, great to see a non-static version of you! I like that the clips are embedded in the blog... very slick.
Please continue playing with technology!
Inspired by your video, I stuffed today's pocket square à la Will. I like it!
However, I find that only squares made of the sheerest of fabrics, and on the small size to boot, will stuff comfortably into my breast pockets (I wear a 36/37 short). Larger & thicker square require careful folding.
Sometimes, to display (part of) what's on the inside of the square, rather than the edges, I go for a center puff effect. Any chance we'll see a video on that?
This clip is a great addition, Will! I hope videos will make a regular showing on your blog.
Will,
ASW is an every morning read for me. Your video made today's visit all the more personal. Continue, please.

I always thought of you as British!
I *have* always wondered how to do that! I've just tried it with a tissue (turned out great), though I'm not sure if I can wear one since I'm a girl, or can I?
Love the tutorial. Very nice selection of material to go with the fabric of the jacket. Keep it up!
