Overview:

‘Break Away’ is a unique and high-quality silk pocket square in pink & blue with hand-sewn hem, inspired by the excitement of professional cycle road racing. It was created in collaboration with artist John Ketchell. Presented in a complimentary gift box. Made in England. Size 42cm x 42cm.

Design & Inspiration:

‘Break Away’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with leading ‘painter of speed’ John Ketchell. His semi-abstract impressionist style captures speed and drama at the same time as delivering accuracy of reproduction, such that the subject seems to burst into life.

For the original acrylic on canvas work, John was inspired by the excitement of professional cycle road racing with its foundations of speed, endurance and tactical cycling. John captures the drama of a Grand Tour break as the attacking riders attempt to escape the peleton.

Quality:

In Macclesfield, the traditional home of English silk printing, the artwork is reproduced with great care. This enables an excellent balance of design colour & clarity between the printed and reverse sides of the fine 16oz Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The image is framed by the pocket square’s pink border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in blue. The overall quality of this pocket square from the UK's leading maker is what you would normally expect to find only on London's Savile Row or Jermyn Street.

Gift Presentation:

'Break Away' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, this stylish cycling silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork.

Material Composition & Care

High-quality 100% Mulberry silk woven into 16oz silk twill gives the characteristic sheen and cool touch as well as ensuring the pocket square sits nicely in the top pocket.

Silk should always be dry cleaned. Avoid pressing the hand-finished hem to preserve its distinctive 'shoestring' shape.
