Selvedge paisley pocket square


Real deal antique fabric. Not 'vintage look' repro.

Handcrafted pocket square made from pristine, authentic late 19th century lightweight cotton, challis-like twill. Small scale paisley pattern in muted rust w/ earthy brown & off-white.

A soft fabric, it was found rambling the back roads of Ohio farm country. Such fabrics are scarcer than hen's teeth anymore.

Very narrow loomed late 1800s fabric (~27"w), most likely mfg. in one of the New England textile mills in their heyday.

Selvedge on one side. Time/labor intensive narrow hand rolled hem w/ off-white, high thread count ecru top stitching on other three sides. U.S.A. made deadstock vintage cotton twill tape tag.
