The Stenstroms patterned wool pocket square is the finishing detail that turns a jacket into an outfit. It carries pattern, colour and a bit of texture, three things the shirt and tie can borrow to lift the whole look. Fold it flat for the boardroom, puff it for the wedding, or push it in casually with a knit blazer on the weekend.
Stenstroms opened as a tailor shop in Helsingborg, Sweden in 1899 and has stayed in the same town through five generations of family ownership. Sea captains from the Helsingborg harbour carried the shirts on their voyages, which is how a small Swedish house became a global name. It is the oldest family-owned shirtmaker in Scandinavia, and the accessories carry the same eye for cloth and finish.
Pattern 781 is one of two colourways in the run. Wool holds a fold with more body than silk, so the peaks sit up cleanly through the day and the pattern reads across the room rather than disappearing into the pocket. Pair it with a navy or grey jacket and let the pattern do the work for you.
